    Default Inflatable Life Jackets


    I love these things I've used them in the past so much more comfortable, in the heat and takes up less space what are y'all's thoughts? Price? Brand?

    You can buy the type that will auto inflate when they get wet.

    Personally, I plan to buy one this summer.

    Me and the wife have one each auto inflate and love them. We fish a lot out of a 10' bass raider and have them on at all time. Very comfortable

    Carol and I wear them. I just recharged them last year. This is year 3 or 4 on them. They are Mustangs and are pretty comfortable. Both, auto or manual inflate and one of them has a blow up tube as well as the cartridge inflate. It sure makes it easier to put it on and forget about it, if you're comfortable. I often will forget and leave it on while backing up the truck when pulling out. During cold weather, I will break out the old vest and wear it to help stay warm.

    I use this style from BPS. It cost $150 and you can inflate it manually or it has a small disc that will dissolve in water and it auto inflates. They are super comfortable to wear. If I had it to do again I would save up for the hydrostatic mustang. Water pressure is what causes them to inflate and you dont have to worry about them going off in a storage compartment. I have had the 2 or mine 18 months and they have both went off once each while stored in boat. If u take them out of the boat and carry them in the truck this solves that problem though.
