: Aw' c'mon, what's wrong with the Lotus flower? :)

Nothing. It look's great on my wife, but not "manly" enough for me. While paddling my freshly completed Chesapeake recently, a guy on a pontoon boat pulled up and said, "Beautiful boat! Hey, what's that thing on your back?"

Interestingly, lotus makes a side zip vest that is nearly exact in every way as their front zip vest (lash tabs, flotation, shape, etc). Originally, it was marketed as a women's vest, but so many guys bought them that they changed the hang tag literature to read for both men and women. Now, these vests hang side-by-side in the store just begging for a good reason to exist independently.

Anyone know where I can get a jolly roger patch about 3 x 3 inches? :)
