It’s time to buy two new PFDs….would appreciate and specific brand or retail suggestions..I know they need to be manually inflatable…want a style that is easy to wear and not too bulky…have been flying a lot ore over norther Lake Michigan with SOSpenders that are auto inflate…and I know that’s wrong….thanks for any advice

Highly Recommend Switlik. Several versions to choose from. I use the X-back MOLLE which allows me to attach a HEED bottle and emergency egress cutter to the vest. TR

Much like headsets, I’d go to westmarine or a fisheries supply and try some on and see what you like

I’d also recommend the safety institute if you have the time, especially the HUET training

Thanks for the advice…..my Switlik X Back arrived last night…was unable to find one to try on but I’m not disappointed…fits so well and the buckles are well placed….I can see almost forgetting you have it on….
