I have the Kong double tether and highty recommend. You won't find a cheaper/high quality 2x tether. (required for offshore racing). At a Safety at Sea Seminar I witnessed the Spinlock Deckvest Pro inflate with the antenna strobe and spray hood., I can tell you that this appears to be the gold standard of all that inflated, including my own lifejacket. This is what I am buying before my race to Hawaii in 2016.
DO NOT buy this one: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--offshore-sail-automatic-inflatable-life-jacket--14897433. The straps are a poor design and loosen every 10 minutes when wearing it. I used it for 6 mos and returned this weekend. What good is life jacket if you cant keep it snug?
