BPS has inflatable life jackets on sale right now for 80 bucks till the end of the month. They are BPS name brand Auto/Manual. Has anybody ever used these?? Looking for any info. I spoke to them (Vaughn) on the phone and can offer anybody the info they shared if you are interested. This is Canadian $$ and they do shipping from the store.

I was just there and had one, put it back. The negative reviews has me concerned. Biggest beef with them seems that they inflate when stored, or even when in a dry place. I am still considering one though, especially with the fishing i do by myself.

Hi all. I just invested in 2 mustang automatic inflatables. I purchased them here, https://www.pocomarine.com/shop/mustang ... table-pfd/

The same model sells on amazon for $250

Shipping was free and they were at the house in a few days.

Very happy with the quality.

I was reading the reviews about the accidental inflation. I believe the Bass Pro pfd is an Onyx.

Looking at the re-arm video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYzDeyK8_gc

The inflation mechanism isn't located inside a pocket making it more exposed to water.

If you look at the Mustang PFD the mechanism is better protected from water by being located in a pocket.

Not sure, but I'm guessing that may contribute to the accidental inflation complaint.

When I looked at other Bass Pro pfd's, they have the mechanism in a pocket like Mustang.

If you order online the prices are in US$$ and the item will be shipped from the States. If you call the store directly in Vaughn, it's the same price that's in the flyer, but in Can$$. The item will be shipped from the store to your house/post office. The guy on the phone wasn't sure. They use Canada Post or UPS for shipping. Normal shipping costs would apply. He said when I call back to ask for the shipping department and they will have all the info. Sounds like you pay over the phone with credit card I guess, and you can also use gift cards if you have them.

If anybody decides to order one in the next few days, can you let me know how it worked out.
