INFLATABLE PFD FROM CABELAS
Message:
I broke down this year and bought two PFD's from Cabelas. They were $89.95 each if you bought two. They are the automatic ones with a back-up pull handle (just in case) I can't tell how they are going to work unless I actually fall overboard but I have never worn a life-vest that was so comfortable. Because I am not as young as I use to be I promised the wife that while I was out alone in the boat I would wear a vest. This is great it's like wearing nothing at all. cmorjoe

I know the Coast Guard uses them,..so I think you should feel pretty safe with it on! At least once or twice a season, remember to check the little sight-thingy that indicates that everything is fine with the inflation mechanism (green color). :wink:
