Co2 pfd

[fishinkid2010]

I have one. I only use it in the bays though. Whenever I fish La Jolla or the Point Loma kelp I always wear my regular Extrasport jacket.
They are obviously more comfortable and less bulky, but they are not always as reliable. If I'm somewhere where I couldn't swim to shore easily I opt to go with a regular pfd.
I'm sure you'll like it, but do take into consideration that your CO2 tank better be working if you truly need it.
