I use a Stearns Ultra Inflatable USCG-approved Type III PFD, principally because it is so small you don't mind wearing it in the summer, whereas almost anything else makes you sweat like a pig and you wind up taking it off. Stearns also has an inflatable pfd built into a fisherman's vest, called the Sportsmen's Vest. It has lots of useful pockets. They claim it is cool in the summer. Anyone ever tried it?
