hi looking to buy a life jacket automatic one for lough fishing .like to know what one is the best on the market as the price is not important as you can not buy a life.i will be wearing a simms g4 chest waders in the boat.any help would be great thanks a mill for taking the time in reading this post.

Can't comment on the life jacket but would not recommend wearing chest waders in a boat. If you can pull yourself and a pair of waders full of water back into a boat you'll be doing well. Neoprene waders might be ok, but others not so.

Not sure about "best", but there's a recent thread here might be worth a look:

Life jacket

I`ve had the Airflo Wavehopper Auto for just over 18 month now and had no problems to be honest its just a Waistcoat 99.9% of the time but with that added peace of mind if you do take a tumble

Hello Finuge

Some of us prefer the least encumberance possible when boat fishing.Mine came from Marine Warehouse and is a Harvey Auto/Manual.Secret is to service check annually/end of season not just buy and forget about it

Hammar Crewsaver, but sack the chesties unless you want to die in them

thanks for all the help .

May work out a bit cheaper from this seller?

Reminds me that i must buy a new one.

Cheers

Whatever you do don't buy a life jacket incorporated in a fishing jacket. In summer you'll roast if you wear it.
