Default PFDs

I just recently bought a couple of inflatable PFDs.

One of the standing orders on my boat is that if you
are on deck and out of the cockpit you must wear your
float.

But I'm curious about what the rest of you think.
Do you wear them or not?


Wife and I wear ours at all times we're not below. I'm not convinced
we'd float for long once all our clothing layers and foul-weather gear
got water-logged. If I'm single-handing then I clip on when moving about
outside the cockpit, and the PFD doubles as a harness, so it is always
warn - though should be redundant if I'm clipped on.
