Re: SOSpenders???
I don't use 'em, but I think they're good. Buddy of mine is a guide on the Chesapeake. He's a big fan. I've tried it on and it's very comfy...you forget it's there. I don't think I'll go with 'em because you can't wear them underneath things. For fall/winter striper fishing, bulky parkas are a must and I don't think the SOSpenders will fit over it. I think I'm going to go the flotation jacket (Mustang, Stearns, etc.) route. I can wear layers underneath and just wear a thin rain parka over the jacket.

Re: SOSpenders???
I was just telling Phester I wanted to get some these.
Most of the Pilot's boarding ship's wear these, they swear by them.

Re: SOSpenders???
That is super cheap, although they are not the "auto" kind, you need to pull the pin, for most situations that should be OK, but if your unconscious....you're drowning
