I PFD that will fit my 58 inch chest / 48 inch waist Some diving boots that wwill fit my size 16/17 feet  Any sensible ideas Cheers Ian |

Hi Ian , I am a large paddler and also have a big game . I tried loads of pfd's none one which came close to fitting my 62inch chest , until I tried the palm kaikoura which fitted like a glove . It's a quality piece of kit , there is a review on here somewhere .It's not the cheapest so i'd make sure you try before you buy.
Sorry but I have smaller feet so cant help with the boots

the kaikoura is a cracking bit of kit but well worth the spend,i got mine from chris at paddleworks,i think they retail around 120.00

My wife says buy cheap buy twice.
I say, what price your life. I am worth more than £120.00 So don't mind the outlay.
Cheers guys.
Ian

That's gone up a lot in price, I picked mine up for £95 a year ago. Still a great bit of kit though.

Hi,
my Kaikoura came today. I measured my chest at 55 inches the other day and have to say there is no more room left in this PFD.
It only just fits.
