Hi,

I am contemplating the purchase of a new life vest.
Many new inflatable models have appeared since ETS published its excellent evaluation.
I would love to get some advice and guidance on the subject.

I found many different models on the internet and I am quite confused...

Here are some links that could be useful in order to further develop the discussion...

Im out of my league here (no pun intended) but from what I have heard, [color:"red"] [/color] DO NOT [color:"black"] [/color] inflate them (the ones that have the cord you pull and they fill up with air) until you are out of the plane. Otherwise your stuck in thier or have to swim down while its trying to pull you up. Funny indeed. <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
