I struggled through with the bulky, too-tight vest over the&nbsp;summer, but really enjoyed kayaking. So I&nbsp;just splurged on the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rei.com/product/867520/astral-linda-pfd">Astral Linda at REI</a>. It is comfy, has a thin breathable back, two pockets and I love the bright colors.</p> <p>Hurray for <b><i>Athletic August!</i></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/personal-flotation-device-for-the-busty#post-1041189 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:52:51 +0000 Laurinda 1041189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sarah and Beth!<br />I'll look into those too. I will try get by with the one I have since the season is about over, then resume my search next spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/personal-flotation-device-for-the-busty#post-1041176 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:09:14 +0000 Beth 1041176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are also PFDs that are flat and only inflate when you pull a cord. I've never tried one and they're not recommended for water sports where you right a high risk of being hit in the head like sailing, but I'd think they'd be perfect for kayaking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/personal-flotation-device-for-the-busty#post-1038528 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:57:41 +0000 Sarah A 1038528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astral makes a nice womens vest.

It was bulky, rode up, and got in the way of my paddling. (Plus it was not at all attractive.) At the risk of descending into Jr. High humor, at 36I I already have a couple well-placed flotation devices. Can anyone recommend a good PFD for gals that would cup and support with no squishing, riding up, or limiting my arm movement? Some type of front pocket would be handy, and a bright color for visibility. </p>
