I fished with mine last year and it made me feel better. My fear is the possibility of water filling my waders and inverting. My family gave me the automatic vest and luckily it never went off. Last month I rearmed the vest but first I wanted to try the automatic feature so I jumped in the pool. It inflated in just a few seconds. The vest has 35 pounds of lift and there is no way to place your head under water (unless a wave goes over you). If you are afraid that the automatic feature will go off prematurely you can close the water inlet holes just a little with some electrical tape although I would not. The automatic vest also comes with a manual conversion kit.
