[QUOTE="Thommothebear, post: 487411, member: 64806"] I'm not that keen on traditional lifejackets for kayaking. I prefer a wetsuit and a manually inflated co2 harness, so have no pockets, but there is a fish hatch just below my knees which is OK. i keep the radio clipped to my harness, my paddle is on a tether that is attached to the kayak and the knee straps keep me very connected to the kayak. a friend and I both did a day of exercises with the local inshore rescue boat a couple of years ago, basically paddled out about half a mile then deliberately capsized the kayak (not my own) so they could practice picking up casualties. Got a total boll*cking the first time because I had forgotten to wear a lifejacket of any description, and was bobbing up and down quite happily with just my westsuit on - very peaceful it was too, the biggest danger really was me dozing off and drifting down to Dover with the tide.
