Your last description of getting your waders off....yikes. You would have to be Quick and calm, while you are in the cold choppy water, watching your kayak possibly float off.

All this makes me think of the shelf life of a pfd. Maybe it is time to get a new one after more than 7 years. It looks ok, but....better safe than sorry.

Like you said better safe than sorry sunlight weather's
everything weak.dont want to be in the water and your PFD seams split apart and your foam pops out in a 3 piece jacket. Foam is trying to catch up to your kayak in
the wind. Can you post which one you got so I can get one too

Yah, I already started searching for a new PFD. I see there are kayaking PFD's and kayak-fishing PFD's, which seem to have more pockets, plyer holders etc.... That is what I am looking for.

So far, I am looking at the Bluestorm Kinetic Kayak Fishing Vest.
