Life Jacket Kit

I haven't seen this rig before.<br>http://www.stayaliveinc.com/<br> Has anyone had hands-on experience with it? Any observations?

It looks fine. Except the price tag of $179 is not too kosher. But couple of things. One size fits all. I tried that approach with PDF before and it doesn't work. If for example you have to bail out and jump into the water from some height one size vests have a tendency to be pulled over your head. I would much rather have a snug fit vest than this. Vest that I have for kayaking has three pockets and a cross chest knife mount. I don't understand why they are going for three flares. That takes a lot of space. I prefer pen flares with extra shells. It takes much less space. No beacon/strobe signaling device. Velcro closures have tendency to open in rough water or when trying to get into the raft. No basic first aid kit. No room for anything else. <br><br>It's a good product if you just want to have somethign in case.

Thanks for your thoughts, Polak
