Scott Williams has reprinted his review of the Astral Buoyancy V-Eight PFD, an article he wrote for Sea Kayaker magazine.
This PFD costs about $100, and might be a reasonably comfortable alternative for those not quite ready to spend $200+ on an automatic inflatable.
Anyway, while you’re checking out the PFD review, poke around a bit on Scott’s Boat Pages blog. It wasn’t familiar to me, but I’m glad I know about it now…there is plenty of great material over there: http://scottsboatpages.blogspot.com/
Thanks to Boat Bits for the lead.
