Not trying to put comfort over safety, just saying as a casual boater who cruises 80-90+ on a regular basis, a more comfortable jacket would make it easier to wear more often.
Vic, 80-90mph on a regular basis is enough to kill you IF and accident does happen, you should always be wearing it. (Don't want to loose you) and the collar on the Lifeline is deigned the way it is so if to do get tossed out in a race with a helmet on, the force of the water doesn't pull your head off with the helmet. Chris has worn both, SRP and Lifeline, and is for Lifeline all the way. Lifeline has more padding and floatation for added safety and has more in the front, so if you are tossed out and unconscious, you will float face up, not down left to drown. Gotta love Chris Kenner at SRP, he's a great guy, but when it comes to safety, Lifeline is the way to go. Also, you can have them made without the collar on them, but for Mr. Denton, he should be wearing a helmet out there anyways, so the collar makes it much safer. IMO.
