Just finished a 12 hour AR with a 2.5 hour paddle and a 500 yd lake swim using this jacket in the summer heat of the southeast. This jacket did the job and was worth the expense. It feels a bit bulky on dry land but I didn't even notice it was on while paddling. The vents in the front definitely worked and kept me cool.

I didn't notice any interference or riding up while swimming in the jacket either.
