SOSpenders

[JFigliuolo]

in the closet. I wore them once at the high rocks. There nice to have if fishing a dangerous spot. The really don't limit mobility that much either. I got the ones where you need to pull a lanyard to inflate. With the amount of surf I get hit with the autoinflate would be a joke. A funny quote from another board.

"If I die with those (sospenders) in my trunk my wife will kill me."

I've got a set that I don't wear enough in the yak. I usually have them in the crate, but wore them last week. After 10 minutes I didn't even know I had them on. Tom

i use a sospenders belt pac. it doubles as a wader belt and is only 3x4x9. it's got a lanyard to manually fire it as an automatic would be useless in the surf. there is a tradeoff with it as far as safety goes, not only do you have to pull the lanyard but you then have to duck your head down and slip it around your neck for it to work properly both of which require you to be concious. a bad fall in the rocks is a risk. i figure i increase my odds by wearing it

I use it every time I am in the surf or a river. I have never worn it while in the canal but after the rough surf and conditions I may think twice.

wear mine when if I fish at night, (especially when by myself) at a rocky surfspot like point jud or the breachways. Don't even notice when its on.
