try climing up on a big rock with all that crap on, or swimming in even a minor current with all that extra bulk and flotation.

 Have to disagree, have no problem climbing or swimming with the PFD on. No worries if it doesn't work for you but I would hate to have others make a similar, and potentially catastrophic, decision based on that opinion.
The point is that 99% of the time, there probably is no need for the PFD, but that 1% of the time, I need to be prepared.
