I have seen and read about inflatable PDFs that can be worn in a small pack around the waist when they aren't in use--they are inflated by pulling a cord. They sound really great, but I was wondering if anyone has an opinion and/or experience with them. I've checked them out on-line, and they go for at least $60, based on what I have found.
I know I should wear a PDF when I'm in my boat, but I find vest-style life jackets bulky and irritating. So, I never wear one, even though I have come closer than I like to admit to being swamped or falling out of my boat on several occasions.
