YAK High Back 60 Buoyancy Aid Test

YAK High Back 60 Buoyancy Aid Test -
Buoyancy aids are all well and good however I personally want to make sure they'll keep me afloat if I ever actually need it to! I've already tested one previously and I decided it was time to test my others...
For the record, I've got the XXL YAK - I weigh 12.5st (78kg), medium build, and it fits fine!

Glad you said that, I’m 6 foot and 85kgs ish, saw a large on eBay for 200 second hand, was going to buy that but not now lol.

@@davidsimmonds2363 there's plenty of spare strap so I'm guessing a large would also be fine 😁👍

The high back also means it sits above the back of a kayak seat, making it a more comfortable sitting position

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@Soapy555 yes, absolutely 👍😊

Hi mate, thinking of buying the yak, is it bulky at the front and does the back sit high enough that it doesn’t interfere with the seat? What’s your goto PFD. I like the red dry suit you wear, where did you get it and is it any good? I know many questions 😂

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

This one is my go-to PFD. Yes it's a little bulky at the front and I don't have a problem with the seat interfering.
The drysuit is the Atacama Crewsaver. It's not an expensive suit as far as drysuits go and yes it's brilliant. The great thing about a drysuit is they stop cold water shock. They also allow you to do things and reach places you would necessarily be able to without one. I can't recall where I got it but there aren't many suppliers. A quick Google search should bring it up. They cost around £370 👍😁
I know, many answers 😅

[@davidsimmonds2363]

Cheers mate, a googling I shall go.
