>Yes maybe, but the operative word is "adequate". It isn't up to me to decide what you should wear, nor you what I should wear. No, but it is up to an outfitter to decide what their clients wear.

Fair enough. >In thousands of trips, my choice of clothing never inconvenienced >anyone. I would say what I wear must be "adequate". That is an excellent answer. If someone in the San Juans has to flag down a passing ferry, it's inconveniencing a whole lot of folks. If your personal protection is adequate based on your own experience and knowledge, and it doesn't inconvenience anyone, it's adequate. Shawn Yahoo!
