If this had an outside pocket/sleeve, it could double as a paddle float, for aiding reentry.

@whywetexit I see there's now a product on the market called the Roll-Aid Back-Up, which looks like yours. Good work! May I suggest you start selling through eBay and try to get listed in Google Product search? It took me a while to find your ordering page!

Humans certainly like to dismiss others who choose to do things differently. I notice that in outdoor circles there is a real haughty attitude of the experts towards novices.

it's great to have this, but people need to learn to roll FIRST...the trouble with tech is that it tends to follow Murphy's law; it doesn't work when it needs to the most.

What the ........ Why use it???? just learn to roll! it's easy!
All that extra stuff on deck..... and what if it dousn't work..?
Better improve your rolling technik.
Of COURSE you should learn how to roll ! The point is this is a better backup safety device than carrying a paddle-float. I guess you do not carry a paddle-float because your roll is infallible? If you are a skilled paddler, then chances are that if you ever find yourself capsized it will be in conditions where you do NOT want to get out of your boat and do the traditional re-entry with something like a paddle-float.
stick to normal rolling
Yeah ... and don't have any safety plans ... If you mess up your roll you *deserve* to be in trouble because you obviously didn't practice enough under enough conditions. Don't carry a paddlefloat either, for the same reason.
very interesting....I like it as a back up but it violates the KISS rule. couldn't you just have an inflated paddle float on your deck and use it the same way? it'd take up more space but you can use it later as a pillow and a seat cushion.
Yes, I totally agree with you. Some minor points. This is much higher volume than a paddle float, when inflated, which makes it easier to use for righting. But for someone with rolling skill, a paddlefloat is sufficient. This is small, taking up relatively little deck space. Hopefully, due to bracing and rolling skills, and intelligence to avoid trouble, one would never need this. Like a flare. So small is good (keep it small rule). The complexity is to do the small-to-big trick.
