I've played with it, never actually used it for real. Both of my new PFDs are over-the-head type, and are strenuous to remove standing up, never mind under water. Suggestion, if you miss this roll and decide to drop the PFD and exit, be sure to drop it to the side. If you're holding it in front of you when you let go you'll have to fight your way throuh 1" of foam being held over your grab loop by 15+ lbs of flotation. -- Steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
