In Response To: Off Topic: inflatable life jackets (Craig Robinson)

: An age old surfski paddling debate has fired up again regarding the
: wearing PFD's over at another forum that I participate in
: http://www.surfski.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1219:close-call-where-was-the-safety-gear&catid=49:tips-other&Itemid=131 : Link above for anybody who is interested. Was wondering what the
: opinions of seakayakers are regarding the use of inflatable lifejackets.

IMO just get a kokatat sea O2 inflatable...it has 7lbs buoyancy at all times and about 22 when inflated and feels
like your not wearing one. I actually dislike taking it off. Best pfd i ever tried.
