Hi there Dryrod,
Heeeeeeeey buddy! he! he! he! As TubeDude will tell you, you have just pushed my button. The PFD I sincerely think you want is a product called SOSpenders. Using Google you can find their website easily. Many of the bass pros use this product as all you wear are two two inch straps in the front and mesh vest which becomes a PFD upon pulling the rip cord (you can blow up the thing yourself).
Compact, cool, great mobility and expensive.... Oh No!!! Wait! Yaaaaa they cost a little more but they have models for porcuine individuals such as myself! Once you see them, you'll not bet your life or your float tube and gear on anything else.
Your life insurance policy, you know the one out on you that you don't know about, and your accident insurance may have special clauses concerning wearing of PDF. ha ha I got this warning from the USCG California Auxliary. Check it out to be sure.
You asked for it!
