so I have narrowed things down to the NRS Chinook or Stohlquist Fisherman, maybe the Kokatat Bahai Tour or MTI Dio F-Spec if I could also locate them.

but I am having a really tough time finding any of these in stock despite having time and being willing to make several stops and with my location covering a large area:  currently in Redmond, back to Tacoma Thursday, and driving home through Portland to Eugene/Florence on Saturday....

any suggestions/help greatly appreciated...cheers, roger

Next Adventure has the NRS Chinook and I think the Sohlquist. The NRS might even be on sale, the last time I was there.

thanks, NA has the NRS but Stohlquist only in 'S'; Portland REI has the Stohlquist in 'L/XL', sounds like lunch in Portland for me on Saturday if I can't find them here in the Seattle area before then...

I would love to give you some "helf" but I'm having trouble finding a viable definition to the word.

I know we like to support local shops ...

ACK has the first 3 you mentioned:
http://www.austinkayak.com/subcategory/212001/Fishing-Recreational-Touring-Whitewater-PFDs/filters/fHxwcmljZXwzMDsxMzksMzA7MTQw/order/priceDesc/v/12/page/1

yes, this seems to be a case of our move from "bricks and mortar" to "clicks and order" making it harder to get your hands on products.   Easy to find and research online but hard to find and try on.... And several of the locations that do normally carry some of these PFDs are out of "L/XL" sizes (KayakShed for example)...makes me wish there was a big outdoor/paddle show coming up, that would do the trick...cheers, roger
