Default PFD Survey

Ohara's sospender recharge question got me thinking.

1. What PFD do you use/prefer for
a. Fishing.
b. Cruise speed.
c. Sleeping on the boat
d. Hot weather
e. Cool/cold weather

Does anybody keep more than one PFD aboard for these different
conditions?

How do you test inflatables?
Seems you would want to know it will work when you go in the drink.

For the boating I've done we always just had floating cushions aboard,
but that was lakes where you could probably swim ashore in a pinch.
When I get my boat and get on the ocean I'll probably want to be
wearing a PFD at all time.
Is that what you guys do?

I sure as heck do on my small open boat.a
Even on the Mirage 33 sailboat, I ways wore my PFD when out of the harbour.
My current model.....
