They are only 22lbs of bouancy. The set I have is 38 lbs. For a 'full sized man', I think they are too small to be really effective.

I took a boater safety class with my 12 year old early this spring...the Sheriff giving the class said 4-6 lbs of flotation was all a (conscious) adult needed...he gave examples of using potato chip bags, small coolers, zip-lock bags, etc to use for flotation if your boat capsizes and you don't have a life preserver...

It might be ok until the man/woman overboard is wearing full winter gear; boots, thermals, gloves, cap, jackets etc.... and possibly has fishing gear also attached. At this point you become quite a drag in the water. I have the big ones myself.

But when it gets that cold I'm NOT in my boat anymore-

LOL
