BEST PFD Recommendation
I'm looking to get a friend of mine a PFD...I have PFD's on the boat, but they're the ones that slide up and really never seem to fit right. So, I wanted to find something that was snug and not bulky. Some of the newer neoprene ones look pretty nice, also I've seen the cardigan version from liquid force that are pullovers. Anyone have a recommendation about their PFD and why they think it's the best?
Thanks

LifeLine is my preference. I don't know how you boat, but if there is any speed involved, you need straps that go between your legs and secure to the vest - front and back. That keeps the jacket from popping over your head if you're ever tossed overboard. Some bulk is necessary to absorb impact.

Perhaps more important, how to properly wear them too.

I know one inflatable life jacket which is very nice and lightweight, fit for all sizes of people. You never have to worry about bulky or clumsinee and stuffiness at all. Besides, it's very convenient to carry and very easy to use, it's just so great that I can help waitting to try it on, you know what!
It fits me perfect and I love it!
Now I can enjoy the fun of water without worring about danger or safety.

Lifeline is the best hands down...The next question is how much are you willing to spend?
If your target cost is <100 then you should look to some jet ski type vests with neoprene...bombardier makes some nice ones with straps and zippers
Again it depends on your application and budget...With lifeline look to spend at least 450-600 on a custom fitted jacket. A little extreme if you ask me.
