I generally don't make opinionated posts such as this, but I think it is the stupidest thing you could possibly do by not wearing a life vest no matter how deep the water is. LIFE vest...get it?

I guess the price of being cool is worth your life. I felt this way even before one of my good friends died from not wearing a vest and feel even more strongly about it now.

Do yourself and your family a favor and wear a vest. You'll still be cool...I promise.

I dont always wear a vest but I'm always w/ people that know what there doing. If not i wear a vest. What is even worse is not wearing a helmet and hiting rails.

Right on Dave, I agree with you 100%

Same here, when I drive and when I ride.
Anyhow, where I ride it's not allowed to ride without a vest and the fine is for the driver not for the rider...

A vest all the way. You can drown in 2 inches of water if you are knocked out so it does no good if the water is waist deep. I am switching to a USCG one after this one wears out. I already found one I like and bought it. Helmets aren't a bad idea either.

Do Non USCGA vests still turn your head up if you got knocked out like a USCGA vest does?
