what offshore pfd recommendations do you have? i have used several but never take note of brand/model. I'm looking at this mustang md3184; something with harness built in and easy enough to travel with.

I've been very happy with our Spinlocks. Comfortable for keeping them on the whole day. We crossed the Atlantic on a boat that had them, and later bought the same for our own boat.

Another vote for Spinlock. I have the deckvest duro. I love that everything is built-in (whistle, strobe, etc.). It's also very comfortable to wear. I feel like it catches on things less than others since it has a "zipper" seam instead of velcro too, very self-contained. Forgot to mention the canvas tether attachment point too, no metal to clank and scratch against anything
