Seems okay -- I've got a Spinlock 5D PFD. About three years old. Seemed okay but it has some major shortcomings. After reinstalling the CO2 cartridge after a trip I pulled the zipper closed and it snapped right off. It's plastic! There's no excuse for such shoddiness. I've had this PFD open a few times to remove the cartridge for air travel and to install a Personal Locator EPIRB. A couple of complaints. 1. It's not very comfortable. It's always pressed against my neck. My Mustang was always more comfortable. 2. There's no clear way to install, attach, carry the EPIRB. I just stuffed inside the right side, made a small hole to tie on the lanyard. This should've been clearer and better. I could find no clear instruction on where it should be attached. For critical safety kit, this is unacceptable. 3. There's no pocket for a Rigger's Knife. There is on the right side a small sort of pocket, what it's for is not at all clear. A whistle would fit. 4. The leg straps are always a hassle. Everything is black and small and underneath so you can't attach them without fussing about. Y I just leave them attached and dance around to get my feet through. The problem with the zipper is that there are these yellow sections of zipper teeth. I've worked with them before, but several months between fussing with them, I don't remember the details. They just seem to be a hassle. At least Spinlock has replacement zipper pulls. With shipping $17USD. When it arrives?? It's interesting their videos have comments disconnected. Safety is always an open conversation. DIY leg straps: For my Mustang PFD and those of my friends I've made 1" (2.5cm) webbing leg straps. A sewn loop on one side which attaches with a carabiner, then under the leg and up through the back of the vest, on the other side double overhand knot and another carabiner. Fully adjustable by untying the knot;. I wouldn't hesitate clipping into a helicopter winch cable to be pulled up. Not sure about the Spinlock. My DIY is an order of magnitude stronger than the Spinlock. You could make these straps without any sewing by using two overhand knots. (I got the Spinlock because it's supposed to be better in open ocean. Has a hood, some neck support -- which is important. Your head needs support for when hypothermia weakens you to the point you can't keep your head up and out of the water. That's how a kayaker friend died in 20C (68°f) water.

Wouldn't it make more sense for these people to be on the East River?

So mush drama

JBM, WJMc good job.

I'm wondering how these would sound in a pool area, with lots of hard surfaces.

Thanks for sharing your raft info! 🙏

QUIEN tiene un bote invitame

Is there supposed to be sound for this training?

you wear it the wrong way... you should wear it in the front. If not in case of emergency, you will struggle more to get your PFD open and on yourself than to actually swim and survive...

If you are in cold water and floating you need to conserve heat you need to bring your legs up as close to your chest as possible make yourself into a ball so your body can deal with shutting down things in order to keep you alive every minute your alive is hope for rescue.

Amazing Video

how i can import my tide table to my Watch . And download my track . thanks.

Nice review man! You deserve way more subs and views! I like the Cnet feel to your videos! Keep it up and you will grow before you know it!

And all this at the "small cost" of a few thousand dollars ... how very kind of you to provide this life saving equipment at only 200% profit margin.

Do I have to register anywhere or do I have to get any kind of permit to use my inflatable boat in New York City reverse

Nice video, full of good advice & perspective. I sail a 15' inflatable kayak in NY harbor, looking to get into motoring and sailing too. It's a great resource, makes living in Manhattan tolerable!

Improve this product with a simple loop sling the person can sit on under the water. also string a small signaling mirror around one of the hand holds.

What is the difference between Hero 3 Black and Hero 3 Black Adventure?

Hello! Could you help me to recovery my tide table? I own a Quatix also. When I tried to export my Mapsource map to it, it replaced the original gmapsupp.img, which is the tide data. Could you send this gmapsupp.img to me? My email is mist@live.com Thanks a lot!
