Just yesterday as we were doing probably 40 mph across the lake I thought to myself, "WTF don't either of us have a life jacket on"? I think I am going to go drop some serious money on two good life jackets for my wife and I and be done with it. I might even go with the kind that pop when you hit water. Check out this site Wal http://www.coleman.com/stearns-recreational-fishhunt/ I thank you but I might be going back old school. I think I am just going to find a very comfortable vest with easy snaps int he front. I will mount the kill switch cord to it and hang it on the throttle handle. That way if I fail to put it on, its all my fault. The reason I am changing is my bud said the sensor that makes it go off is down by you waist. If I have a jacket and waders on, then that could take too long to go off if at all. I am just going to go old school. Wal, as wreck prone as you are I would consider a wetsuit, waders, then life jacket over the top.

SM that's a really good post you made on inflatables. If you are the meticulous type person, you know clean your gun after every hunt type, that PDF might be more up your alley. But my vest gets thrown in the mud, kicked around, stepped on, left out side, etc... Not for me, I need a Benelli vest that can take abuse and keep on ticking. Thank you sir! I am the meticulous type! My gun gets cleaned after every hunt. Sometimes 3 t 4 times a week and I still won't use an inflatable. I'll take my chances with a vest I know will work 100 percent of the time over one that may or may not work. There are already enough dangers in the things I do. No need to add to that just because a standard vest is mildly uncomfortable. Seat belts aren't exactly comfortable either but I'm gonna use it. Who cares about comfort, you wear the vest just for the boat ride, then it comes off. Now if you needed a vest you wanted wear while you hunt and shoot, those inflatables would make more sense.
