what offshore pfd recommendations do you have? i have used several but never take note of brand/model. I'm looking at this mustang md3184; something with harness built in and easy enough to travel with.

I have two of these. They are much better than the cheaper ones with velcro closures. It fits well and is easy to take on and off. We've tested them in the pool and they definitely work well. In terms of negatives, with the steel d-rings, the PFD overall is pretty heavy. Also, the black, rubbery neck area, while nice and soft, can get pretty hot.
Someone else commented on the d-rings banging on things, which is true, but you can fold them back out of the way.
