Suggestions on PFD's

[TimHayes]

All,I am looking to purchase new PFD's to use on my 170. Since we will be wearing them all the time, I need to find some that are comfortable, and easy to move about in. I would also like them to not be too bulky. I will need two adult, and two childrens. Any suggestions? (Links to pictures and specs would be nice.)

Extrasports - Sailing/Kayaking

All of our non-inflatables are Extrasport PFDs designed for kayaking and/or sailing. We used to have some jackets designed more for waterskiing, but they are cut too long and are not comfortable to wear for extended periods sitting down. The short styles designed for canoeing and kayaking work well.Try :http://www.extrasport.com/sailing_stiletto.htmlor http://www.extrasport.com/sailing_contour.htmlor http://www.extrasport.com/sailing_retroavenger.html

Wally World Inflatable PFDs

Last time I checked out the boating section of Wal-Mart, I was surprised to see Stern auto inflatable PFDs...at a very good price...and a good price on the inflation "rebuild" kits. I use a Stern auto inflatable (I purchased at a much greater price) and the only thing more comfortable is not wearing a PFD. You have to rebuild the auto inflate part each year...or at least replace the "cheerio" trigger part.
