I love my Sospenders. I got the extra long model with extra buoyancy. They are sure comfy to fish in and not too hot out here in the desert in summertime.

The best PFD is one you will actually WEAR, so I recommend these because you don't know they're there so you'll wear them!

I do not have the auto inflatables, but I suspect they're a better idea in the event you bump your noggin on the way to the water. Hmmm, maybe I need to make a new purchase. . . .
