Hey!That’s good info!For someone your size is a large Canyon Keg enough or do you carry a drybag too?I could go out in the pond and find out how it works for me but air temp is 20 degrees F and water temp is a balmy 42F.

    I rarely concern myself with carrying floation. I will fill one of Tom’s light weight dry bags (supurb) with some air sometimes. Air is pretty light!. Back to the waist belt being a little high and cinched tight. The pack itself is wonderful floatation. R
