What do you guys use for PFD's in you dinghy?

Carrying full size PFD's in a dinghy is a pain, they always seem to be in the way. What do you guys carry? I was considering buying a couple of these https://us.binnacle.com/product_info...ducts_id=14006

I figured they would provide a decent level of safety and would be nice to have when paddle boarding.

Re: What do you guys use for PFD's in you dinghy?

I carry four of those orange ones in a purpose made bag that fits under the dinghy seat. They stack up one on the top of the other and don’t really take up that much room since the seat is above them anyway. I don’t often venture to places where I might actually have to wear one, but when I do, I wear a proper PFD. The orange ones are just there in case I get stopped inspected.
