APS...... I don't know how to do this multiple posting however you say:
BTW: The newest PFD in the family has the the manufacturer's message printed on it that would be of interest to the boating public: it relates to its ineffectiveness in high speed tests.
What is your point?????? There is no hidden secret that there are lifejackets for specific activities. I personally wouldn't want to go wake boarding with a orange jacket around my neck
.
My racing jacket costs in the hundreds of dollars and is specifically designed for high speeds.
I don't know why you bring this up other then to try to use scare tactics for those who are ignorant to the different specs. on life jackets.
