For the manuals, I treat mine like a divers bouyancy compensator. Remove and wash the CO2 cylinder, inspect the pull lanyard, you can even weigh the CO2 cylinder once a year to make sure it hasn't leaked. Of course check for rips dry rot and such.

I wear mine on rockpiles, I have a plan in my head, but this will give me a couple of minutes to execute it. I've swam in clothes before never mind waders, korkers and a jacket, the PFD just might make the difference between living and dying.
