    Thumbs up Inflatable PFD Test


    Anyone interested in inflatable PFD may want to read the results of this test. I have the SOSpenders and was concerned that in winter with insulated clothing that there might not be enough flotation, but according to this article they work well.

    Great article Trihull. You hope you'll never have to use it, but if ya do you want to have confidence that it's going to work.

    When I purchased my Sospendos , I went with the world class for the 35 lb bouncy. The other model was a 25 lb bouncy. Mostly becuase I weight 250, and for the added cloths in the winter. Never had to test it yet, hope never to have to.
