Stearns Sospenders inflatable lifejackets are lightweight and comfortable, allowing freedom of movement while providing maximum buoyancy. This Stearns Sospenders Sportsman's Chest Pack inflates easily via the 16-gram CO2 cylinder, just by pulling the attached lanyard (or inflate by blowing into the oral inflation tube). Made for convenience and comfort, the Sportsman's Chest Pack is constructed of a durable nylon shell with a neoprene back and adjustable head and neck support. It provides a lightweight, comfortable fit with adjustable belt and flexible neoprene back strap. For convenience, the Chest Pack features a plastic coil retractor with a fold-down foam insert for storing flies; it serves as a handy workstation. A zippered chest pocket and handwarmer pocket provide extra storage. Uses rearming kit #0925 for repeated use. This Type V personal flotation device is Coast Guard approved, delivering Type III performance when inflated. Inflatable PFDs are not recommended for non-swimmers; not for use for active watersports activities (skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, white water, or PWC).
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
My husband is an avid bass fisherman and uses his float tube constantly in local lakes. He is usually completely alone on a secluded lake, which makes me nervous about his safety. I bought him this life jacket and he seems to really like it. It is not bulky and fits high enough that he can be in his float tube with it on. It also has a storage pocket in front. He is always complaining about not having enough storage on his tube, so this was a good way to get him to actually wear it :) It is a little expensive, but competitively priced compare to the other products like this I have seen on the market. Well worth it for my piece of mind and his safety.
