Friends prepping for their RTW cruising for the next couple of years and G... has just thrown this at me:

I'm trying to find recommendations for lifejackets.
I have a yachting monthly magazine which has reviews but that was in 2009. I want one that is comfortable, it's for me so are there some recommended for ladies? if you have a moment to do this exercise for me I would be grateful. -)
As its going to be warm where we are going I don't really want anything too big either and obviously on the big crossings I will be wearing it all the time so have to keep that in mind too.

G... is relatively petite (oh; she'll love me for saying that!) so ladies (and gents) - recommendations please.

Her size indicates 150N and I've heard good things about the Kru range but it seems sensible to get some feedback here

After seven years with conventional lifejackets-150 newton- First Mate and I blued our Christmas dosh last year on a couple of Kru Pro-sport waistcoat type. Absolutly first class. We tried the Spinlock but preffered the Kru. Much more comfortable than a conventional L/J-especially around the neck. As ex motorcyclists we are used to wearing safety equipment as a matter of course and wear them most of the time. I might put mine on after the sails are up as I put my oilies on when that particular job is out of the way. Very pleased.
