Since I quit smoking I don't think you could sink me, even without my wetsuit. Not that fat helps if you are unconscious, though most of these vests won't hold your head out of the water anyways. I'm pretty much a thigh deep guy anyways though in NH I sometimes have to swim a ways on the incoming to get back to where I walked from. I have a Playa jacket that is the predecessor of the surfcasting Hendersen one and it swims fine. I put grommets in the bottom of the pockets.
