The only pfds that I have seen with a harness integrated that are not inflatables are designed for kayak and paddle sports. I don't know that the harness feature is up to the standard for an offshore vest. I don't think I would choose any that I've seen for offshore work, but that type of sailing isn't necessarily your plan either. I also haven't found any manufacturer or retailer that recommends the kayak designs for sailing. My recommendation is that you try on as many vests as possible, check out the manufacturer recommendations regarding appropriate use and make your own decision about what is right for you. You certainly don't want to take the advice that is no more than a personal opinion of someone on an internet discuss forum and run with it. Including what I've said!

Tom if you meant to send me a pfd link or pic...I'm not seeing it. Believe it or not I'm having a hard time finding pfd with harness that's not auto. So if you know of something link me! Jazz
