This review is from: Stearns Sospenders Auto/Manual Inflatable Life Jacket (Sports)
This life vest will not turn a user face up in all cases and offers only minimal positive flotation...22-25 lbs. The vest fits chests from 30 to 50 inches which is quite a range. I'm 6 ft 200 lbs and find the vest rides too high and is generally uncomfortable. The quality of the product appears cheap which is not good when your life may depend on it. It feels very similar to an inexpensive airline life vest. For $120+ I would suggest buying a good type 1 vest for much less money or spending extra money for a higher quality vest such as those made by Mustang.

I bought several Sospenders (5) 2 33gr (male) and 3 22gr (female) in order to be more comfortable on our sailing adventures. Two adult males wore the 35lbs ones on a 32 deg F long 12 hour sailing day this early May here on Lake Michigan and both found them to be very comfortable over our three layers of clothes. Movement was free, I don't know if these less expensive models also feel good in mid-summer when no sweaters, jackets and neck protections are worn plus I'm not sure about the single web (neck to center back) support. They definitely give you more free movement than the conventional bulky ski-type vest PFD's. I would buy one again but will never pay more than $150 each unless I need the "D" ring life line hook-up

This product has may features that help make it an ideal PFD. It is compact and comfortable so that it doesn't get in the way when you are fishing and boating. To perform a true test one must fall into the water, which fortunately I have not done so far, so I cannot comment on how effective it is in keeping me from drowning. However, it is less bulky than most and has most likely kept me from getting tangled up and falling out of the boat on accasion.
The one drawback is that the loading of the auto-inflation system is a bit of drudgery, but that aside this is an excellent product so far.
