Great PFD

This is a great PFD, I use it mostly for Kayak fishing. It holds my phone, wallet, keys, pliers and a couple packs of trailers with plenty of room for more. It's well ventilated so it isn't terrible to wear on those really hot days and the clip in the front allows it to be worn open and remain secure. There are plenty of attachment points for more tools. My only criticism is the angle of the pliers keeper, they tend to dig into my leg on the kayak if they're pushed too far but for me it's still a 5 star PFD.

Great fit and does the job.

Great fit and does the job. Haven't needed to test the floatation aspect yet and don't plan on it. Making the assumption that it works as intended.

Life saving.

I am very grateful I had this on our first day back out on the water this season. I had purchased this life vest for my 13 year old son and we took to the river to do some fishing. We had received it the night before and had made sure it was properly fitted before we hit the water. Unfortunately, my son capsized his kayak in some swift water. It was early season so the water temps were low 40s at best, that day's ambient temp was also in the low 40s with the wind blowing. My son was wearing waders in the kayak to help keep him dry. When he capsized, the waders filled with water and began to try to pull him under in the moving water. This vest did everything it was supposed to and kept his head above water until I could catch up to him and help get him to shore and recover his kayak. All he lost that day was some fishing equipment the NRS Chinook definitely saved his life.

Good PFD but not Left-handed fisherman friendly.

Chinook fits great and works well. My only complaint is that the scissors pocket is only designed for right handed people. If it was modified to allow putting the scissors on either side pocket, I wouldn't scrape my arm against it while fishing.

Great float fishing pfd.

Great fully adjustable fit. I wore out the previous iteration and I really like the organization on this one better, a nice improvement with the lower pockets. I do miss the small upper pocket with a whistle lanyard though.
