Opinion on West Marine PDF sale?

[osprey877]

I bought two. My only complaint is that the velcro holding the cover on is not strong enough and/or the cover is too small and as a result the inflatable bladder keeps poking out around the neck. Anybody else have this problem?

Also, imho the crotch strap is not necessary as long as the chest strap is kept tight under your armspits. I agree they are necessary on a convential life jacket where they can come off over your head if you land in the water with both arms in the air.
