    Mustad,Bass Pro,Cabelas,and more and more.To me they seem about the same with only slightly different features.Auto/manual operation ...I have been using a automatic Cabelas several years and it's alright.Cooler,more unrestricted than normal vests.You are supposed to replace bobbin that dissolves when it gets wet and deploys every couple years.
    You will enjoy using it I am sure.

    Kits are $14 on Amazon, don't let the auto get wet! Mine went off in the storage locker because of a rain shower!

    Humidity will set the automatics off in one to two years while in your boat storage or utility shed. About thirty dollars to
    rearm them. Also, they do not count as a life jacket in your boat unless you are wearing it. I went to manual after problems
    with the automatics. The negative side of that is going out of the boat unconscious. Both are much more comfortable than
    the conventional ones and a lot cooler.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    Be sure to have a regular one in the boat, if you are not wearing the auto inflate it does not count.

    Do the auto 's have both manual/auto capabilities ? The manual inflates only if you are conscious enough to pull cord ?

    Auto/Manual is just as stated. Will inflate auto or manually.
