If the straps fastened partway up the PFD, instead of the bitter bottom, it might work out differently. I frankly feel that inflatable PFDs have a lot of potentail, especially in warmer conditions where it's tempting to go without a solid PFD. Plus, you get more flotation than a regular PFD, and it will turn your head out of water and keep it there, which a regular PFD may or may not do. -- Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Boyd's Kayak Place http://www2.dmci.net/wesboyd/kayak.htm Kayaks for Big Guys (And Gals) | Trip Reports | Places To Go | Boats & Gear --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
