Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

Joel, This PFD was an older Mustang model without crotch straps. I do think the unit being loose around the waist contributed to the issues. The top of the vest did come in at an angle and slid up a bit on inflation. I notice that there is a crotch strap add on for my Mustang hydrostatic PFD

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

The point of these inflatables is to give you enough buoyancy to keep your head and shoulders up out of the water, and lean you on your back to keep you from inhaling the ocean. You cannot possibly try to swim forward like that; but since you’re on your back already, try the backstroke. It wor

Jim, Did the PFD have crotch straps? I've only seen demos luckily, but it seems like the straps will keep the vest closer to the body which should give a marginal increase in mobility. Too many sea nettles to try it anytime soon! Joel On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 2:08 PM, Michael Crombie via CnC-Li

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

I am surprised to see that the Kong tether as illustrated does not have a snap-shackle for use at the harness end to enable quick disconnect if needed. With any tension, you'd need to cut the tether in order to get free if you were, say, trapped under water. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUT
