Although we both have the full sized coats with the Stormy Sea's floatation systems, I only had one vest and gave that to a friend last year. Now, as we are leaving in a week (Aug. 6th.) for Quebec and an appointment with Mr. A. Salmon, I just returned from the factory (right here in our town) with two brand new Stormy Sea's Vests! Hey, those rivers are not for sissies!
