The Hobie 'Short-Profile' vest (made by Stohlquist) fits awesome while trapping, its the only PFD I have worn for the past several years now. I highly recommend it. part # S6142 available through any Hobie Dealer toll free 1800hobie49 |

Generally speaking, most paddle sports vests work well for trapping out. They are shorter in the torso with wide arm openings. Stay away from impact type vests made for water skiing/wake boarding. They are longer and interfere with your trapeze hook. I use a Stohlquist. Whatever you get make sure it is Coast Guard certified. |

I just went and checked, and this is what my lovely wife bought me for Christmas. I can't wait to try trapping out this summer. I also got all the trapeze hardware I had been missing, from the children. It is going to be a great summer! C'mon June! |
