PFDs

I like the look of the Neil Pryde Elite Hook BA but I haven't tried one yet. I do have the basic version which is not bad.

	Long time no post! I'm getting back into dinghy sailing...I've joined Rutland SC and bought an RS700. Some of my kit is a bit long in the tooth so I'm buying some new. My current PFD/BA is an old Magic Marine front zip job that has seen better days. I'm looking for a new PFD. Boxes it needs to tick: -Lowish profile, I don't want the shoulder sticking up and getting hooked by the stowed spi pole on my Fireball when I tack! -Easy access to the trapeze hook for 700 sailing -Something that will actually work, and not instantly ride up to be supporting nothing other than my nose during a swim -Room under my chin, I hate the feeling of the thing riding up and getting in the way when flat wiring -Versatile enough size wise to be OK with everything from just a rash vest to a drysuit I've bought a Gill Race Synchro M/L but it's too small and sits too high (odd, as the other Gill kit I have bought, Long John size L and trapeze harness M/L are fine. I could go bigger or try something different. The new Rooster 50N CE Impact looks interesting, does anyone have any experience of these yet? I like the fact it's supposed to be minimalist and low profile, although not entirely sure on the styling, reminds me of the Gill Compressor which made the average 40 something Dad look like he was in some fancy dress superhero outfit and massively failing to pull it off. Has to be black/grey too. Any recommendations? Edited by Iain C - 03 Sep 20 at 9:06am
