On warm, calm water, on a warm day, on a familiar and small inland lake, I
have been known to put the PFD under the bungees. This year, I started
wearing an inflatable PFD under conditions when all of the above don't
quite apply. The inflatable fits me better, has more flotation and is
cooler and less restrictive than the regular PFD, and I may just continue
using it on lakes when I don't nned the insulation of the regular PFD.
