Onyx Outdoors Adult Auto/Manual Inflatable Life Jacket, Blue

Fits comfortably good price

I saw the same thing at the Minneapolis boat show for $79.00. Then I saw the same thing with a clear window in front at Cabelas for $149.00. The basic A/M 24 Auto/Manual jacket seems to be basically the same animial but with variations that really don't make you float any higher out of the water. I think the Walmart one priced at $102 seems to be ok. I am using if for a kayak. Therefore the first thing I did was convert it from Auto to Manual (meaning I took out the water sensative activator to inflate) and I will just relay on pulling the Rip Cord. It still inflates automatically with the Co2 cartridge but you have more control of when it inflates. Overall the product fits great, looks great, seems like a pretty well thought out jacket but don't expect to float all day in it. I am using it as an emergent type item to save my life if need be. So, if you are kayaking or canoeing or need to feel safe all day in a boat but need the comfort of something light and low profile, this is a great product.
