Inflatable Life Vests have become a very popular choice. When selecting the right jacket for you, keep in mind whether you want a Manual Inflatable Life Jacket that will only inflate when you pull the cord or blow in the tube, an Automatic Inflating Life Jacket which will inflate as soon as you hit the water, or a Hydrostatic Life Jacket that will inflate when submerged 4 inches underwater. Other premium options to choose from include D-Rings to attach a harness, VHF clips, strobe lights, and the popular option - A Padded Collar. The Mustang Survival Khimera is a popular hybrid between a traditional life jacket and a modern inflatable life jacket.
