Included is a removable back pocket which is removable and can be placed on the waist strap to carry things like fish id cards and incidentals that you would like to bring with you while snorkeling. (Please note that the pocket is not waterproof.)

The oral inflator tube is easy to use and has a locking ring on it as well. Another feature on the jacket snorkeling vest is a rolled padded collar which helps to avoid chaffing which can occur when using conventional horse collar style snorkeling vests. The jacket snorkeling vest also does not use a crotch strap which is a plus for many people. Who says snorkeling has to be uncomfortable?
