A few buddies have started wearing their PFD's under their parkas in the fall for comfort and to avoid having them get in the way casting. Sounds like a bad idea to me. Seems the vest might not inflate when you need it if it's underneath your coat. Thoughts on that?

I think it will inflate no matter what.

Unless the parka is really tight, I would think they would inflate. I think mine says it inflates at a rate of 32 psi. My concern would be the water pressure which is required, might the parka delay that? I have read they are to be worn over the top of any clothing but don't know if wouldn't still work.
