As I tell pilots time and time again, 'if it isn't with you, it can't save you™.' Carrying your essential survival gear in a vest is more comfortable, less cumbersome and more convenient than stuffing your pockets with gear. Slip it on when you take your seat, take it off and drape it on the seat when you arrive; no muss, no fuss. Wearing your Doug Ritter Essentials™ Aviator Survival Vest™, if you ever have to exit the aircraft quickly in an emergency, all your most critical survival gear is already with you. Even if you don't get the larger aircraft survival kit out of the aircraft, you at least have the minimum survival supplies and equipment to survive and signal for rescue.Pilots Vest
