PFD...wear them - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I will never Kayak without one. Many don't wear them because of the cool factor, they think if they are seen wearing a PFD they will look uncool. How will you look being pulled from the water dead? What happens if you get flipped some how and become knocked out and are not wearing your PFD? You die. There are a ton of PFDs out there that are less bulky and are less than $100. No one can make anyone wear on, but I can't see any reason why someone doesn't. Not only should you wear one, but make sure it's properly secure and adjusted.
