life jacket question

I wear the mustang hydrostatic. It inflates from water pressure if you fall in. The inflaters are pricey, but you only replace them every five years. I've gotten pretty clumsy as I've gotten older and had knee replacement, so it's cheap insurance.

talk with cane pole. he posted about this type of vest and said to get the one that has the "cut down" at the back where your neck will be. he said one with the cloth straight across there will wear on the back of your neck. he said he bought the wrong kind first and could not use them because of that. make sense when you look at the pictures of the vests.
