I really like the handle from a safety standpoint. I remember once as a rookie accidentally tucking the handle under the rand. I didn't need it that time, but if I had it might have been disasterour. And once this year I saw that I had done it again. I added a piece of tubing and plastic tape to the handle so it will be really difficult to "tuck" in the future. But SkirtworkS solution is more idiot proof.

My grandson (16) will be using the skirt, not me. I like the extra level of security, and it makes him more confident. The handle is easier to find in a panic situation than a free floation one.
