: My kayak's back band (immersion Research) began to suffer serious
: rust on the adjustment mechanism, so not being a slave to I just
: tossed it out. I found that the lip on the back of my seat kept
: me from sliding off the back, and never replaced the back band.
: Works for me. If you don't slide off your seat, you may not need
: a back band.

: I do like my Astral PFD. It just needs one more exterior pocket.

I like my Astral vest as well, but it's a rescue vest, not one a new paddler will need.
