Inflatable PFDs

Likely a different trigger mechanism. Is yours a Maverick or Mustang?

Mustangs cost more but it seems to be the brand most favored by law enforcement and other government/military agencies.

Mustang for me - and a manual model - never an auto deploy (anyone with an inflatable that deployed in the hatch - was probably an auto model..). That business about the regs - every state follows the USCG standards and YES you need to be wearing an inflatable for it to count, if inspected. I only keep one inflatable on board my skiff - and it’s only deployed in two circumstances - when I’m running solo - or when I have an angler aboard that’s either a non-swimmer - or physically challenged and might need an inflatable to survive going overboard… Be safe out there !
