Auto Inflatable life vest

[Bobby Bass]

Am seriously considering purchasing a Auto Inflatable life vest this season, anyone have any pro's or cons on brands? Not getting any younger and I think it is time that I wore a vest all the time in the boat not just when I am running the big motor. Anyone had to use theirs?

I purchased one from Cabela's but it is in the boat in storage and I do not remember the model.

I have never had to use it but I will say this, on those days when it is hot, I would normally not want to wear one but I do wear this one as it is so much lighter and more comfortable.

I wear one and I would highly recommend owning the inflatable. I find I wear it more often than I did with the other styles. I have worn it in all day rains with no problem but I did have mine deploy last last on accident. It was hot (90+) and humid, my boat happened to be outside with the cover on in the sun and I guess the combination of heat and humidity did it in. It was stored in a waterproom sealed compartment. I now store my vest out of my boat and have not had any other problems. I have had it for about 5 years now. Cabelas brand.
