Our auto PFDs claimed they will not go off if just in the rain or splashed on, they had to be submerged?
Pat, Good idea though to check the date. Did yours get submerged or just wet when it fired off?
A whistle is a good idea. We've also ordered from Amazon waterproof cell phone sleeves that come on lanyard we wear around our neck in case we had to call for help - we did test the waterproofing before using to be sure and no leak so they are part of donning our PFDs.
