Trouble is they are bulky and uncomfortable so dont get worn and are used as a insulated raised seat

At least with an inflatable they are hardly a hinderance so get worn....I certanly was guilty of having the life jacket as a seat for a long long time till I got inflatables. Now I wear one 90% of the time.....old habits etc.
