    Default Inflatable PFD


    My float vest are Coral, model 23M. I've looked online and having a problem matching a rearm kit. It calls for Coral #2644706.
    Anyone have a better time finding things like this on the internet?

    I bought 2 at walmart years ago on clearance when they put a $64 green price sticker on them. The little yellow sticker has $5 on them. When the Southaven store was on Stateline.

    Didn't fall in the water, never used. Thinking, they are over 10 years old I may need cylinders. Wish there was a way to test them without arming them.

    After a couple of hours with my life jacket on in the kayak it riding high on my neck. Figured this one would easy the ride longer.

    I got to looking today and found this site, inflatablepfd.com , I sent them an email, waiting on a reply

    If they are 10 years old they are probably dry rotted and would not hold air if they were inflated.

    being ten years old I would armed them to make sure they hold air , before I had to put my life on the line with them in case of an emergency !!!

    That might be best. I'll arm them tomorrow while outside.

    I removed the 2 cyclinders to check for numbers, they are different. The little green tag is a pale tan color.
    One is a Leland, made in japan. 23 grams #84203, dated 01-94 printed on cylinder.
    No name on the other, made in Germany, 23 grams #ISI/34203, dated 04-95 stamped in cylinder.
    This is the first time they have been out of the packages.
