With thousands of hours searching for persons in the water (P.I.W.s) from an aircraft, please believe me when I tell you that it is nearly impossible to spot a person in the water with no signals.

What Aviation Consumer Magazine had to say:
"For small kits, we like AST's over-water fanny pack. It's inexpensive, practical and because you can wear it, there's no chance it will be left behind. The pack has room room for adding personal items and a PLB, an addition we think every owner should consider".
