hueyracer, do you wear the lifejacket against our skin? Like gloves and Helmet in your examples below? Perhpas you are the one with the fetish! LOL.
I'd also like to know where you get a lifejacket for US$100! That would be very cheap. Especially when you consider many offshore crew jackets now have a PLB installed (sometimes coded to the aircraft tail number) and a re-breather set up as well, you are missing at least one zero off of your price tag.

It is a totally different story when the vests have to be worn frequently....
Ask yourself:
Would you be happy to wear the helmet of a pilot just getting out of the cockpit?
If yes-you are a weird guy with probably some weird sexual fetish...
If not-why should this not apply to vests as well? Or gloves? Or shoes for the matter?
A life jacket is what-100 USD?
And they are probably there already....and like helmets and other equipment, needs servicing anyway....
No, i would refuse to wear them when sweaty...like said before:
If the flight is then delayed..it becomes a problem of the company....
