    Default Life Jackets


    I have been thinking about getting one of the inflatable life jackets. What style and brand do you prefer?

    Thanks

    I have two from bass pro and require my guest to wear one, they are great, light weight, and never even know you have them on, when the water is cool it is even more important. I know an old fat man like me would never get back in the boat. Safe boating to all!

    I also have the ones from BP and I really like them. I agree totally with Jerky.
    Even more Important to use when water is cold.

    I have 2 from BPS and love them. Fishing by yourself or with a partner once you put them on you forget they are even there.

    Got a Mustang. Don't think the brand matters as much as buying something you'll actually wear!!

    Most don't list a maximum weight, only a minimum. Some will list their bouyancy rating, but not all. I would tend to go for the higher bouyancy rating as a safety factor.

    I bought 2 of these several years ago and really like them. I have never had a problem with them.
