It’s always interesting to see what other paddlers carry with them. What do you carry with you?

What do you carry in your Greenjacket?
It’s been a long time since I have had a new Astral PFD.
There was something that I really didn’t like about the previous version. For me the fit was just not quite right, I know that lots of people really liked them but the design was not right for me. Roll on a few years and we have the 2013 Greenjacket.
I was never really a big fan of the previous Astral Green Jacket. I loved the features and the design but it simply didn’t fit me very well.
For 2013 the Astral Green Jacket has been tweaked and I had the chance to check out its new features and try it in the dry. Therefore I am unable to comment of what it is like to swim/paddle wearing the Green Jacket at this stage. UPDATE: Full review here.
