Why can't the SI's just say "adequate flotation device" and leave it at that.
Then I think the question would be, "What is adequate floatation?" Which is sort of what the whole CG cert defines.
Here's a question. Eliminating any application process, would the vests in question pass the CG flotation criteria?
The major players would not only pass but exceed. I believe I was told that many of the CE approved PFDs will actually float more weight. It boils down to bureaucracy and dollars/greed. Go figure.
