I am thinking of purchasing a SOSpender inflatable PFD and I have a couple of questions about them. 1. When inflated can you comfortably paddle with them on? 2. It appears that floatation turns you over on your back (ie inflated area is on chest and behind head). Does this impede a self-rescue (ie trying to swim up on back deck)? 3. Are the 35 # buoyance models preferable to the 25 # models? If some of you have used these I would appreciate your input. Mark J. Arnold Mark Arnold mjamja_at_earthlink.net Why Wait?
