Good for you,
Slipping out of the seat?! As you know, when the ol' tube hits the cold water it tends to lose volume or even shrivel a bit. The seat will not be as tight horizontally without the tube being thumpy tight.
In the cold, I put the thing in the water while I'm getting my other gear ready then give it a good extra shots of air when needed.
If the water warms...... but more... if the sun really starts beating down on you during an extended stay in the water, you might want to think how you could let out a bit of air. My StealthRider is perfect for this and ........ I can inflate it on the water too!
High mountain lakes in California (7k +) tend to have very cold mornings but air temps can zoon reaaaaaaaaal quick.
