I put this in another thread but thought I start a new one
You are flying along a remote shore line and the engine quites an you put it down on a narrow beach. You get out but the plane is half way into the water and sinks as the tide comes in before you could get all your gear and the ELT out. You are fine but wet in a remote area. The recent Sparky Imeson thread, a crash into trees, remote area and the plane burns completely to nothing. Again no ELT or gear
As suggested in the Sparky Imeson thread a safety vest with all the survival stuff would be good to have. You would have your PLB/ELT and survival tools on person. It would also be just convenient to carry all your day to day stuff: cell phone, wallet, iPod, Camera, PDA/Blackberry, energy bar, water bottle .......
This applies even if you bail out and end up hanging from a tree. A lot a good your cell phone or PLB would be in the flight bag that went down with the plane.
Last night watching TV, a line of vests, jackets and pants with pockets was shown. The typical cargo pants or fishing vest really look bad but this line looks good and would be a nice flight accessory.

Even for an airshow, hiking or walking around the mall it would be nice to have some thing to hold all the electronics we have now a days. Its this or a man's purse!
