Advice: Best type PFD for tube?
#39
[font "Century Gothic"][#000000]I'll definitely try it out before I use it for the tube. It's only rated Class III (see below), so it isn't rated to float an unconscious person face up or for use far from shore or in rough water. While anything is possible, I don't intend, any time soon, to do anything where there is much probability of getting knocked out or in rough water or offshore. I think this should be sufficient security for what I plan on doing. I figure that If I ever decide to get more adventurous I can always get higher rated vest that is less comfortable and convenient.[/#000000][/font]
