I was looking for a new PFD since my old one I was using wasn't designed for Kayaks and its just way too thick in the back.
I was looking at getting the Stohlquist Keeper Fishing Life Jacket. Seems to be priced around ~$130-$150.

I found the same design per Cabela's branding and made by Stolquist for ~$90, https://www.cabelas.com/product/STOHLQUIST-GRAY-DLX-THIN-BACK-PFD/2645663.uts?productVariantId=5427829&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=04945752&rid=20&ds_rl=1246549&ds_rl=1246552&ds_rl=1252242&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=CjwKCAjwxt_tBRAXEiwAENY8hXZGqe83i_Uh8NsAlNRUZFWcHFD2-oWud3EXcDNd_suoHzwq2nRHkBoCtuIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have since used it and it's very comfy and well made :). It's very similar but not identical

Good find! In the past, I’ve bought Cabelas branded reels because they were essentially white-label Daiwa reels, for less $

These two are not the same in term of quality of material.
I have seen both in person, and I kept the nicer one. No regret.
