Looks like my winter plans include buying a float tube, my fishin' buddy's plans also. Can't wait! Looking at some lightweight U-shaped tubes for backpacking into mountain lakes here in colorado. I've never float tube fished before.

My question -- what's the most compact and lightweight inflatable PFD that folks here have tried for float tubing, that will still save my life? Any comfort factors to keep in mind? What type interferes the least with access to your fly vest? Are the waist belt kind any good?

As always, THANKS in advance!
