Here is a video of an "EXPIRED" vest being tested!

With you on that BUT the way I understand it...If its EXPIRED it don't count as Life Jacket

Actually I never thought of that and I'm sure you would be correct, I wear my inflatable because it's comfortable but I do have on my boat the standard type vest/life jackets so if a lake patrol checks I'm still good.

I'm glad that mine don't expire!
