Re: neoprene pfds
I'll take a first shot, but am ready to quickly defer to those more experienced on this board. For your use, sounds like:<br /><br />Pros: sleek & less bulky; most (especially kids) think it looks cooler (better)<br /><br />Cons: price, floatation properties (isn't there a type with better floatation properties than a wake/ ski pfd?) <br /><br />Variable: my impression is that neoprene is warmer than a good nylon pfd. That could be good or bad depending on the weather you're fishing in.<br /><br />Note: I'm not extremely experienced, and am curious about others impressions. I use pfd's mostly for playing (wakeboarding, tubing). The "in" thing on my lake for playing is neoprene, and that's the vest my nephews grab first. But I live on a warm lake in NC, and my impression is that my nylon vests are cooler (temp wise). <br /><br />When I go to choose one to wakeboard on a hot day, seems like I'm always trying to choose between looking 'high end' and a little less bulk (neoprene) vs. being cooler (temp-wise) with a good nylon ski vest.<br /><br />Again, just my impression to initiate the discussion, would be curious as to what those more experienced have to say...
