Thanks Bronzeback,

I've always planned on wearing a vest, just looking for chances of blowout of tubes, comfort of types of vest, and usefulness/annoyance of each. I haven't tubed yet, but I've seen many tubers doing it (and evil eyed them for catching when no one on shore was getting s**t.). Only seen one defate, not a blowout. Didn't count it though cause you could tell the 3 of them didn't have a clue what they were doing.

I'll be careful about the overfilling of the tube.

The Full-Motion Vest I seen in the catalog. Looked great but I wasn't sure if the back of the vest would sit ok in the tube. As in not sitting in the seat cause the vest pushes you forward so you're at a weird angle. Purchasing the Full-Motion Vest helps the budget also.
