Top Safety Adult Life Jacket with Whistle - Manual Version Inflatable Lifejacket Life Vest Preserver PFD for Boating Fishing Sailing Kayaking Surfing Paddling Swimming - Adjustable Life Saving Vest

Not bulky was key for me! I also wanted a manuel one for kayaking because the automatic might get wet. This is perfect!

Doesn't get hot like bulky ones do.

Product seems good. Hope to never use. Purchased for aircraft over water flights. Not Coast Guard approved so no light and I don't think a whistle.

There is both a manual pull to auto inflate, and an automatic model that inflates when it gets wet. This is the model that you have to pull the string. There are pros and cons to each, decide which you want before purchasing.I wore out it canoeing this weekend, and it it MUCH nicer to wear then a bulky foam filled model. Several times I forgot I was wearing it.There is an option to inflate it by blowing into a mouth piece, the whistle is there next to the blow into tube. I filled it by blowing to test, and it deflated again nicely and folded back up and velcroed closed again fine.I wish I had got one of these years ago.

Sooo... I like inflatable jackets generally as a compact PFD solution on my 15’ boat. Easy and relatively comfortable to wear, and not bulky when either on or in storage.At half the price point of similar vests from chain outdoor stores these certainly don’t give up half the features. I haven’t tried on the big $$$ name brand vests, but the only differences seem to be longer narrower chest tubes that might be less bulky, and a bit of fleece padding at the neck on the top dollar competitors.Haven’t popped the CO2, but regular valve inflation (as recommended to test) worked fine.Great deal!

Very light weight. Safety precautions*If a person has medical conditions like verdigo, light headedness, seizures etc.Keep in mind the cord has to be pulledTo blow up the vest.If going thru one of those conditions and falling off the boat while fishing I don't think they will be able to Pull the cord. Give up comfort for safety. Use the ole style foam 🦺.

We havrnt had to inflate these and hope we never do as that means a emergency has happenedThey are light weight they do not over heat you when your wearing them you hardly even know you have one on we bought several of them for boating and fishing

Well designed life jacket. I use mine for safety when fishing off-shore. The size doesn’t interfere with my movement on the boat and I don’t even notice I’m wearing it!
