okay, i am not off-shore, but use a boat in some very deep, very cold waters, and sometimes in water with mean undercurrents. <br /><br />my partner and i want to purchase off shore type I life jackets, that you can wear as a jacket or coat. no yokes, or vests. does anyone make something like this, and where are we going to find them? i would prefer traditional non-inflating type. <br /><br />or, is there something with a high rate of boyancy out there that can be worn easily in a jacket? we have looked at a stearns brand type III, and we are considering it. several years ago i saw some extreme condition life coats that would have been ideal if they performed as advertised. of course, i am not sure where i spotted them. <br /><br />normal conditions to be used in: severe cold, winds, snow, rain, and ice storms.<br /><br />thanks, <br />CC
