Never wear a non racing jacket.
Will only wear my Lifeline jacket when I am running.
It is the most comfortable jacket I own.

Vest
Mercury type 111 ski vest -- also known as a body buoy.
(Again for those that missed it - it provides no protection from a crash but floats the body well enough for retrieval. Hence "body buoy")

Jeff,
get a Lifeline "poker run" jacket (I think there's another trade name for it, ,but not sure). Call Fauntleroy and ask him about it, it's not that expensive, very comfortable, and the next best thing to a race jacket.

I use one of the ski belts also. All purpose water sports belt for fast boats, tubing, water skiing, fishing or what ever. Got it on EBay for $5. This way when you are dead in a crash your azz will be floating up for all to kiss.

That belt should be cleaned and recertified before it's used, in the condition it's in, you could be taking an unecessary risk Originally Posted by Brad Zastrow
