Do You Always Wear Your Lifejacket
 
In step with my perception vs reality campaign regarding the percieved safety of performance boaters in general. How about some real feedback about wearing lifejackets. I'm not talking about organized boating events where we all know we must wear them. I'm talking about any given Sunday.

I usually don't but I do when running hard. I also have a lifeline jacket for every seat in the boat...none of that inflatable crap.

children always, but if only adults and poker run style ride = yes everybody does wear them.

my rule is everyone on the boat must wear one at night and children always no matter what age

We wear them when running hard. Then I got my Life Line and where it every time I use the boat.

We always wear them when running hard. Kids wear them all the time, including my 15 yr old, despite his objections.

On nice calm days, no. If the big lake gets starts to get rough we break them right out. Have run in groups many times & we only boat wearing them.
Also if we use them quite often while floating offshore if we are swimming in the water. I always have throwable very handy also.

Only when I'm in the water.
