Floatation jackets?
 
Looking for float jacket possibly Stearns Powerboat or Mustang Bomber or mustang integrity?
Any reviews or other options?

I've got the mustang classic float coat (had it about 10 years)- it's nice and warm, but they do run a little small in the shoulders. The ones you mentioned look alot nicer.
I don't always wear it, but it goes with me whenever I'm on someone elses boat.

I've always wanted one but never owned one. Several guests I have had onboard have don'ed the Mustang jacket and I have asked them about it. They all have liked it but have never put it to the real test of jumping in. In all cases it was a gift from their wife.
I am thinking of getting the integrty coat with matching pants eventually but it is behind of long list of other things right now.

I have a mustang bomber, and unless I sinch it down correctly when I put it on it will float up around my head. I do not know about the other manufactures but I think whatever brand you consider you need ro wear it correctly and not just throw it on if you want it to work as it is designed to.

Also found this Onyx Flotation Jacket : Float Coat : Cold Weather Life Jacket
Less pricey seeing as when I do wear it i will be fishing covered in dogfish blood and cod poo. I want something I will actually wear and not have to worry about destroying. I think a coat thats over 200 bucks would tend to just hang on the coat hook most of the time?
