1 – Onyx A/M-24 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD Life Jacket – Blue

These are expensive, however, when it comes to a low profile vest which doesn’t interfere with paddling, it’s worth the money. I’m a paddle boarder, and find that other vests rub my arms as I am paddling. This one does not. It’s easy to use, easy to reload and super low-profile and comfortable, not to mention that it could potentially save your life. I chose this over the manual inflators because realistically, what if I hit my head, I won’t be able to pull the manual inflator then will I. Now I have comfort, and peace of mind: that is worth the money.
