Pros:
|
easy to inspect air valve assy and condition of air cartridge, compact, adjustable waist band, very light weight
|
|
Cons:
|
needs two part operation, will not upright unconsious person, must be worn to count as part of PFD count on boat, not automatic, must be manually deployed
|
|
easy to wear and is more of a swimming aid to a person that's a good swimmer.
Easy to repack and to inspect. Must be manually deployed and requires a neck strap to be pulled up and placed behind head.. so this is NOT a automatic pfd that will self deploy and it will NOT upright an unconcious person.
Good to have a back up when wearing a regular type III vest type foam PFD.
I dont recommend this as the only means of floatation for open ocean waters, but is better than nothing. Very compact, lightweight and easy to forget you have it on.
