Re: [Paddlewise] PFD's: Front or side zip?

   I have often seen the zipper on front zip pfd's come undone while the 
wearer was performing a rescue which included crawling on their stomach 
across a boat. I have never seen a side zipper on a pfd come undone. Is this 
a problem? I don't think it creates any more of a problem then someone who 
paddles with the zipper down to let some air in and cool down. I'll leave it 
to you to decide.
