PFD upgrade ?


Recommended Posts

Looking to upgrade my PFDs. I have several older Sterns life vests in my boat.  They are getting a little raggedy. My boat is pretty space challenged. Was thinking of getting several inflatable vests. Not looking to break the bank but looking for small, DEPENDABLE but affordable (not that I am putting a price tag on safety). If I go with inflatable do the cartridges have a shelf life and need to be replaced regularly ?

The inflatables I’ve had came with expiration codes on the cartridges.  IMO there are advantages to the inflatables, but from strictly a dollars and cents view a regular pfd is less money.  There are some pfd’s that are pretty comfortable (and warm in cold weather).  In the end matter of personal preference.
