Advantages: Value for money Disadvantages: can't get a rearming kit through bps
"LIKE THE VEST PRETTY WELL FOR THE PRICE. THE ONLY REASON IT DOESN'T GET A HIGHER SCORE IS BECAUSE BPS SHOWS A RE-ARMING KIT IN THE AD WHERE YOU BUY THE JACKET, BUT I HAVE YET TO FND A REARMING KIT AT A BPS STORE OR ON THE BPS WEBSITE! WHY SELL A VEST IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO OFFER THE REARMING KIT IN STORE? WHAT A BUMMER, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER WEBSITE TO FIND IT AND IT COST A FORTUNE AFTER YOU ADD SHIPPING!"

"My wife and I tried on this PFD and a 35# Mustang in person at Bass Pro. If you want the smallest one you can find, this is probably it. Because it offers 22.5# of boyancy (way more than a normal life jacket anyway) instead of #35, the air chambers are shorter; so overall, this vest is slightly more compact. That also means the recharging kits are a little cheaper. However, the folded collar stood up about an inch taller on the back of your neck on this model, and it doesn't have the neoprene edge for comfort like some others. So if possible, it might be a good idea to try it on."

"Bought these jackets on sale for $89.94 and got another $20 off for trading in old jackets. These jackets are well made and fit well so I can where it all day. Inflation mechanism appears to be reliable and well designed. Hope I never need it but feel safe with it."
