When I'm in a late fall situation where I know I'm sinking like a rock if I go over, I wear it as designed. But I have to admit, the #*^@ vest gets in the way of casting, it's bulky, and not comfortable at all. Yes, being uncomfortable beads dead any day of the week, and that's why I wear it.

I think the only way to test the under-your-parka thing is to pick a nice summer day, gear up like you would in November, and jump in. Maybe make sure you do it in shallow water with others around so if things go South they can pull you out. Even that sounds like a bad idea, but it's better than not wearing the vest in the fall...
