This question was brought up in another thread. I'd like to get some feedback on rescue PFDs and other foam type PFDs that have a harness included and leg loops or crotch straps. My inflatable has worked well, but having the option to wear a foam PFD in really nasty conditions gives me a lot of confidence, and it's almost impossible to swim in an inflatable.A question I do not know the answer to:
If you knew things were going badly and there was some probability of going in the water, would you take off your inflatable and put on your paddling jacket, knowing it will perform dependably in very violent water?
Any thoughts?
