Re: Rough weather kayaking

I have tried the in-the-sleeve storage method for emt shears before and it didn't work for me. (cold water, heat transfer, etc...) Now I just have a line cutter mounted to a weight vest.

A whistle wouldn't be AS bad in the sleeve, but I still would prefer not to let any more water at my skin than possible. I'm thinking of sewing something up that's basically a ~1.5" wide strip of fabric that can Velcro around the wrist/forearm with a second layer that can Velcro over the entire whistle, with a short bungee leash stitched into the seam where the two layers are sewn together.

Do you have any opinion on those inflatable hi-vis tubes that they sell? like a carter float, but not necessarily with the auto-inflator? Neptonics calls them safety signals.
