Can anybody recommend a PFD that works well with a waist harness? Now that we ride foils we're doing much longer coast runs and sometimes mixing it with yachts and doing runs a lot further out to sea then usual. There's also the risk of light winds dropping to nothing.

Apart from being safer, I want to be seen to be doing the right thing by using appropriate safety gear. I would feel like a dick having to get rescued without having the most basic safety gear.I am currently using the Neil Pryde High Hook model. It works ok for general riding, but a hard crash causes it to ride up and it becomes a bit of a bunched up mess.

I have seen the Forward WIP vest and it looks quite good. They claim it is designed to be worn with a harness. Does anybody know if these work as claimed?

The rest of the offerings look to be simple impact vests, or more horrible life jacket style vests.
