Pete,

I didn't intend to imply there aren't a bizzilion idiots walking around in the woods without a jacket available, but very few if any of these morons would have the foresight to be prepared enough to be carrying an AeroVest.

My post should have been clearer -- chances are pretty good that if you're prepared enough to carry an AeroVest, you have the proper clothes (i.e. a jacket) with you as well.
