Dan, I also have the SOSpenders with
integral harness. I figure the
harness will get my butt out of the water after the inflatable saves me. I haven’t had to do anything to
mine in 2-3 years. However, last Sunday I was racing on
someone else’s boat in 20-25 and mild rain. Needless to say, I got soaked. Afterwards, I put my vest in the back of
my Escape. Two days later, I go in
the back to clean up (I never said I was neat!) and my vest is inflated! I don’t know if the handle caught
on something or what. I’ve
left it inflated for 5 days so far, just to make sure there weren’t any
slow leaks. Time
to re-pack it. Very comfortable to wear
in any weather. Bob Mann -----Original Message----- Dan B - I have had a West Marine Sospenders automatic
inflatable for last five years. I singlehand most of the time. It has built in ring
for lifting purpose. I am 6'1" and sevelt 220 lbs and inflatable is very
comfortable. Light weight and not too hot to wear when temp hits 96
plus. No problem with maintenance. It is suggested to replace
cartridge now and then ( three years?) but you need to look at factory
suggestion on replacement. Easy to do Others may have different suggestions. ex C27 now C30 San Jose, CA |
