hoping to get a boat soon and one of the first post-purchase priorities are PFDs...
what do you guys like in brands and styles for recreational use?
i can see myself getting two "dedicated" jackets, a couple "passenger adequate" and a "skiers".
thanks,
fred

For recreational boating, I would recommend the whitewater rafting/canoeing types, which have a lot of buoyancy and are comfortable enough to paddle or move around if needed.
Here's the link. I'm sure there's a lot of dealers in Canada:

My opinion is that you should ALWAYS use life jackets, specially in those freezing cold waters you Canadians boat around....

Anyway, the water in the Pennsylvania rivers is very cold, anyways.

that's ok...i'm pretty sure type III PFDs fit the legal requirements here.
not a bad lookin' vest...appears it could be rather comfortable, too(+1)...not sure about the elastic waist tho'. also looks like it could be stuffed somewhere without a fight.
i like it.
thanks for the reply.
