Yes I always wear it. Did you ever try putting your safety belt on during an automobile accident? Having the jacket onboard but not wearing it is just the same as that, the day you finally need it.
What I wear is the most comfortable one I have found after trying lots, so I'm ok with it on as a result.
It's really a padded waistcoat, or buoyant fly jacket. Not a coastguard lifejacket, but a buoyancy aid. Comfortable enough to wear every time. No crotch strap and not guaranteed to keep you face up if unconscious like a life jacket will, but will keep you afloat.
