[QUOTE="jayp7365, post: 386450, member: 18574"] Good question. Several companies make great products. After spending 21 years as a puddle pirate (USCG) I think the biggest factor comes down to fit. If it's not comfortable you're not going to wear it. Stearns and Mustang make most of the commercial PFDs and hold up well. The next thing to look at is how safe do you want to be in the water. Type I give the most flotation and will flip you face up if unconscious. Type III are more comfortable but if you are face down that's how you stay. [/QUOTE]
