this looks like the newer updated version.
It is all manual, so if you hit your head or something you are sol. It has a loop that comes out and you put over your head.
Luckily I haven't had to use mine, but last summer I put on my waders , surftop, and inflatable and went swimming to see how it felt.
It took a long time for my waders to fill, since I wear two wading belts, one just over my waders, one over my top and the inflatable. not until i dove down and swam along the bottom could i feel water start to fill me up.
I was actually pretty buyont with all of the air in the waders and top. i stayed there floating for about 30 minutes before i got bored and started trying to swim.
In that instance I never inflated the pfd, but I would recomend trying it on and manually inflating it while in the water to see how to put it on.

What kind of dry top do you wear??

It is a shame to hear stories like this. It also is terrible that the loss of a good person is enough of a kick in the rear to get us to become safer. Since I have had a few lessons in the surf it is time for me to spend a few $$ and be safe.

I now have a skinz top, but at the time I was wearing the NRS endurance top, with the cuffs and neck velcroed tightly.

These stories are sad to re live , but maybe the begining of the season we need to .. If it could happen to a world class fisher like Kenny it can happen to any of us ..

I never had the opportunity to meet him but was always amazed at his fly-tying skills. Reading this thread brings back a lot of memories ....
