What Ralph said is true, you need not suffer wearing a PFD in hot climates 
... I live in Florida and wear mine everytime I paddle ... The methods Ralph 
mentioned are universal and work ... One little trick I've learned is to buy 
one of the ribbed undershirts used by law enforcement under their vests ... 
The ribs keep the vest away from the body and the cotton material gives the 
cooling effect as air circulates ... They can be bought through catalogs or 
at police equipment stores and their not expensive ... Paddle safe.
