Flotation Gear

[BrokenR1 0]

Curious to see what others are using or know of for flotation gear. I did find a post that someone used this.

Any other options or what you think about this?

That's what I have. My boyfriend got a similar one (different brand)at a local boat shop. Those are nice because they're comfortable, easy to use, and are relatively unobtrusive or likely to cause issues with your skydiving gear.

Link is no longer operative, what is the type of gear everyone in this thread uses?

The brand people were discussing is Stearns Inflata-Belt. The vest folds up into a belt around your waist.

And those that have used them don't feel they interfere with access to handles etc when worn under the rig? Freely and belly...?

The belt goes around your waist, so it should be well clear of the handles, particularly if you tighten the belt ensure that the belt is snug enough that it doesn't ride up. They're pretty low-profile - you'll hardly even notice it (but it's sure nice to have if you need it).
