Hello life jacket, I hope I never use you!
Agree that type of PFD is convenient and comfortable, but....back in July when we had all that rain and humidity, we came to the boat one morning and found that a self-inflating vest had done just that, thanks to the humidity and moisture. Lesson learned....they now go back-and-forth with us in a 'boat bag'.
