I don't think a guide has to say put on the jacket.
What is the matter with people who can't think
for themselves! I WOULD HAVE HAD A JACKET ON!!

Maybe someone's got all the info we could use..
When we think about buying a gift,,,get a PFD.

Where do you go here in the Portland area to find a large size like 2 or 3X...usually no where. Or maybe the cadilac PFD. When we think of
buying one, the sport place is all out. Or it's close to the holiday time and everything is sold
out. Or we didn't carry very many this year!
I have found the extra larges in Seattle but I never think of it until the last minute and then
we are just tempted to do with what we got.

Many guys have said "my kids always wear one in the boat" and I do believe that is the law. However, I have seen a lot of kids running free
around water edges or on docks with no life jackets on. And the parent couldn't reach them quickly if needed.
Well, I didn't organize this very well but it's in my craw..

This is what I have. http://www.orvis.com/store/product_choice.asp?feature_id=2&dir_id=758&Group_ID=781&cat_id=19&subcat_id=3&pf_id=J3185

It's not CG approved, but it's better than nothing. I've checked mine out and it's identicle to the float coats we used on the flight deck in the Navy. Just the vest is different.
