My inflatable is so comfortable I put it on and leave it on. I, like most, took off my old "mattress stuffing with a zipper" as soon as the outboard was off. It was very confining and uncomfortable. But my inflatables do not hinder my casting or anything else.

I tell the story, and it is true, that the first day I used my inflatable, I put it on just before I got in the boat and when I got home from my trip I realized I still had it on.
