Inflatable PFD
 

For those of you with the inflatable PFD's, which do you recommend? Do they inflate when wet from spray/rain or just when submersed in the water?


Thanks

Warren

There are 3 different kinds. Manual, auto inflate, and hydrostatic release auto

Manual you have pull cord
Auto cheap has a pill like paper that gets wet, even real moist will inflate
Hydrostatic has to be submerged

I use 1 in the kayak as I am in usually shallow water and #3 if offshore or deep water

Manual is good unless you get knocked out before you pull it...

Thanks for the replies. I looked at them at Academy and :eek: when I saw the $239 price they wanted for the hydrostatic one. I will have to save some pennies before getting one now.

You can write off as safety equipment warren

Yeah, but it still hurts to have to dish out that kind of cash.
