Re: Life Jackets

The best place for life jackets is here. http://www.lifejackets.co.uk/categories. we bought all 4 of ours from them

If you are going to do coastal sailing, you will need a minimum of a 150 N automatic jacket with crotch strap. Never buy manual, pulling a rip cord in an emergancy is just one more ...
