Life jackets
 
Who has the best bang for the buck on inflatable life jackets. I am completely aware that when it comes to safety you can never spend enough but with that said there has to be a place that has the best deals.

Thanks in advance for the input.

I bought a bunch of Mustang survival manual inflatables on ebay for about $90 each... brand new.

Thanks. I will check EBay.

This is what I got.. I think they went up a few bucks since I bought mine but I got them right away..

Dumb question but what are those all about? You have to inflate them manually if you fall in the water?

pretty sure it means you manually pull the rip cord to inflate by Co2 cartridge.......

Some actually inflate at a certain depth to like I believe 1-2' they will automatically inflate

Yes, you pull the cord and they are inflated by CO-2 cartridge. I bought these mainly as stand-by jackets for low speed, the-weather-got-bad-everybody-put-on-a-jacket use.. I have Lifelines for regular use and poker runs...

My question wasn`t how to inflate but how they work.
Pretty useless if you get knocked out or for kids who would panic. Thats what I wanted to know
