source of vest type PFD like Stormy Seas

[armand.seguin]

Hi,
I used a Stormy Seas PFD starting in about 1980. They were an inflatable bladder inside of a sleeveless pull over. They were designed by a commercial fisherman to get more people to wear a PFD. The Stormy Seas product is no longer made and I'm wondering if there is anything like it on the market.

The company (now gone) later made a vest (also jacket) with a nice lining and pockets and I bought 2 in 2008. Always wear aboard: fell in once, inflated immediately. However, now they are over 10 years old, so would like to replace.

We love them as they are warm and you can carry a VHF and other items in pockets. These were made with standard Halkey-Roberts inflators (manual/automatic) and I assume the bladders were custom made to fit the vest. They were never USCG approved (so don't "count" as a requirement). They had been available through several reputable suppliers, like Landfall.

While we have many inflatable PFD's aboard, none are as comfortable or as handy as those from Stormy Seas.

Anybody know of a similar product.

Thanks.
