Pack Raft Australia Recommendation: A low-profile PFD that works really well for packrafting. The slim front helps when hauling yourself back into the boat (wet entry), the clamshell pocket carries essentials, and the side-entry buckles let you clip it around your pack for carry-ins. Wraparound side foam adds extra torso coverage. Great all rounder.
