http://www.nrscatalog.com/product.asp?pfid=2584 Alex brings up a good point and one to be considered. This jacket is something to throw on when it gets windy/cold/nasty, pick one or several. It will keep you warm and can be applied over your PFD. If you get spray/rain etc. you will be somewhat dry and warm. If, however, you roll over or have to wet exit, the degree of dryness now becomes mote and reduces itself to a wet/soaked/waterlogged (depending on how tightly wrapped you made it) jacket surrounding you. It's a good idea. Your sitting in your kayak and have nasty weather surrounding you and do you want to take off your PFD to put on a jacket? This would suffice if you were sure that nothing was going to happen to involve you in rescuing your self. If however the other became true, you could now have Xlbs of wet fabric to contend with along with all the hell breaking loose around you. Personal Call I say.
