Re: SOSpenders???
 

On bass masters they all were suspenders when under power. As I get older I want to keep things going longer. I like the size of this type PFD. Bill Mc ;D

Cool thing about these is, you FORGET you got 'em on!!...there's no reason to take 'em off...I'm sold...several of my close friends have seen mine and gotten them... ;)...

Re: SOSpenders???
 

What kind do you have? Bill Mc ;D

Re: SOSpenders???
 

SoSpenders Automatics...like Tin said...knocked out will never have the chance to pull the cord on a manual...

If you order one, you don't need the ''saftey strap'' that might be listed w/it... ;)...

Re: SOSpenders???
 

Unless I am mistaken the auto inflate are USCG approved PFDs if worn but the manual inflate are not....don't remeber for sure, I will look it up tomorrow. At work we use Mustang float coats in the winter and we all wear Sospenders auto inflates in the summer months

I HAVE A SET THAT I USE ALL THE TIME SINCE I DO A LOT OFFSHORE FISHING AND CRUISING TO BIMINI.

THEY 'RE BOTH AUTOMATIC W/MANUAL BACK UP, AND BRING 2 CO2 TANKS, ONCE YOU USE THEM IN AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT, YOU CAN PACK IT BACK AND USE IT MANUALLY.

THEY ARE GREAT IN ROUGH WEATHER.

No experience with'm in particular but, in 45/50 degree water hypothermia can set in quickly. I do spend time wavesailing in the winter and use a drysuit to keep warm...and the water I sail in only gets 65 degrees at the coldest.
