: I haven't read all the posts but can offer my 2cents worth
: regarding the issue of being seen. Where I paddle, it is
: generally very sunny and out in the ocean (Sunshine & Gold
: coast) or our bay (Moreton bay). In these conditions, white is
: very difficult to see. Mainly due to Glare and whitecaps. Dark
: colours are not really an issue heat wise because craft is
: predominately surfskis, so open cockpit and lots of splash. A
: bit of reflective stuff on a pFD or boat is a very effective way
: to be seen in these conditions

Speaking of reflective stuff, I saw that Seattle Fabrics now offers reflective piping... I was planning on making my own gear, and adding a bit of that here and there to the skirt and/or tuilik... :)
