hello,
 I am writing in response to various letters regarding
putting the sprayskirt over your PFD. 
     If the PFD is clipped between your legs great...
no sliding down and out.
     If the Sprayskirt is outside the PFD then
splashes will run down the inside of the skirt.
     Here's a thought, what about a PFD, equipped with
a crotch strap and a skirt sewn around the inside. If
it is loose enough at the waist it would allow full
body rotation. A 90 degree body twist would tighten it
up enough to spill collected water over the side.
     Anybody seen such an animal? I suspect that the
wunnerful folks at Snapdragon could whip up this combo
overnight.
      A design like this would alleviate any PFD ride
up problems with the crotch strap and yet allow for a
fully functional sprayskirt. 
      A thought for you to ponder.
