Inflatable PFD for Kayaking?

[Ghost]

Can I use my Sospenders inflatable PFD for kayak fishing, or do I need to buy a kayak specific PFD?

I'll be going fishing from a kayak next week w/ a freind who has 2 kayaks. I just want to be sure that what I have for a PFD will be okay for a kayak.

A TYPE V PFD, or SPECIAL USE DEVICE is intended for specific activities and may be carried instead of another PFD only if used according to the approval condition on the label. Some Type V devices provide hypothermia protection. Varieties include deck suits, work vests, board sailing vests, and Hybrid PFDs. A TYPE V HYBRID INFLATABLE PFD is the least bulky. It contains a small amount of inherent buoyancy and an inflatable chamber and must be worn when underway to be acceptable. This type is designed to automatically inflate upon entering the water.



Your good to go Gino.... :D
