Keeps you from making your own mistakes.<br /><br />The problem I had with inflatable life jackets was that they worked TOO well. Folks kept setting them off when they jumped in the water, forgetting to take the things off. Which says something about how comfortable they are... But I have those good ol' fashioned horse shoe kind on my boat...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-86644059327202122662013-04-16T11:14:28.685-04:002013-04-16T11:14:28.685-04:00Have you talked to our friends at Northwoods Rafti...Have you talked to our friends at Northwoods Rafting about inflatable kayaks?
