Are Seago Life Jackets decent quality?

[Ryanlion]

I'm looking to buy a couple of auto inflatable life jackets and Seago Active life jackets are very reasonably priced compared to other makes, and I'm interested in the opinion of experienced boaters who have used them and if they do what they're supposed to do (as in auto inflate if you end up in the water?)?

Better ones tend to have a light , a hood , and face cover and somewhere to put plb

I would say the quality if absolutely fine.....but as another member has said, they don't tend to have as many features as the more expensive ones......but do you need them?? For me it depends on the type of boating you do.....if all you do is near shore stuff, in typically 'busy' waters, and generally in reasonable weather, then things like a hood and place to put a pub are probably not essential! Yet, if you are crossing the channel, or going miles offshore, then I would say they are.

place to put a pub are probably not essential!

I think you’ll find a decent place for a pub IS essential.

A respectable instructor always said to me, never go to sea with a Seago
