Thanks for reminder! Was going to start a thread on PFD's but I'll ask here. Does anyone on here use a FLOATATION COAT?? I am leaning toward the purchase of one. Would like to hear some comments on which one works best. Mustang,Sterns or Arctic Armour?? Thanks for any info. Stay on top!!
I've got a coat made by Onyx that is Coastguard approved, Type 3. Works great. But looking at their website, it looks like they are currently not available. Check it out.
