I'm not going to be the PFD nazi or anything, but I will comment that here in Georgia we would never paddle with a PFD from May through September if we found 90F+/100% humidity unbearable. I wear a long sleeved silkweight poly shirt and a PFD all summer long and have never suffered heat stroke or heat exhaustion. I'm not even all that uncomfortable. Maybe I just don't know no better. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
