Hi all,
Have been relying on a couple of old pfd's from years back (about 15....) which may or may not be fit for purpose anymore. With the recent spate of kayak related stories in the press i thought it would be a good idea to make sure our saftey kit is in order. I have been looking through the forum reports and came across the vid. of another forum members fishing report from the past year. The guys in the vid all had the same pfd / angling jacket. Having done some searching have found it to be called the stohlquist fisherman life jacket but i cannot locate a stockist in the uk.
Does anyone know if they are available in the uk? and if so from who?
I was going to kit up with a vhf set and do the day course and get a couple of waterproof 2 way radios so Em and i can stay in touch on the water - any recommendations on these bits of kit greatly received too!
Thanks in advance!
