Fisherman Manual Inflatable Life Vest

5 star BUT...
Why not make the best shell compatible with any or all approved flotation collars?
It's a great product but dumb that it is not an approved pdf. So easy to make the shell to fit all of your approved inflatable pfd.

Love the vest however there are a couple of things I would change. The fuzzy thing on the front to hold flys. That should be made from real sheep skin and should be located lower on the vest so it’s easier to see the flys and it should be attached to the vest via a brass snap so it can be removed or replaced when worn out. Also there is a chance to pierce the inflatable bladder with a fly when attaching the fly to the fuzzy thing. Should have some kind of reinforcement behind the fuzzy thing to eliminate the chance of damaging the bladder.
Also the bottom of the vest should have 3” or 4” Velcro straps on each side so the bottom of the vest can be cinched in closer to the body.
Otherwise it’s a great vest.
Thanks

We were very impressed with the quality and design of this vest. It provides a lot of options for storage, while not being to bulky. I would highly recommend this vest!

Durable outer material. Lots of external pockets. Nice colour. Wish there was a couple zippered pockets and internal one as well

Got this about 5 years ago. The only best I have used since. Really well made, still like new. I like the added feature of having some pockets where I can keep some tacke and other safety items on me, since I mostly use it in my kayak.
