Default Pfd vest

Hey Guys, What brand are you using for (auto inflate) and comfort. I was looking into getting 2 and the price range is all over the place. Not going Off Shore. Boating in the upper Chesapeake.

Thanks

We have been using the west marine brand "coastal" vests for 3 seasons now. Indicator shows they are still charged. After getting under way I forget I am even wearing it. About $130 and cheap insurance. Wearing it has become second nature now, kinda like wearing seatbelts and helmets.

West Marine has been running a special for their inshore auto inflating vest for $79-89... Pretty comfortable, you almost forget that your wearing it but they definitely are not made for high speed impact.
