Ergo coastal and offshore ? differences

[TeamSpirit]

Calling all ergo experts ? I am looking at replacing lifejackets this year with the Crewsaver ergo fit - However, can any one enlighten me with the differences between the coastal and offshore, the ocean one if obvious but the other two specification differences are vague and unclear on the Crewsaver site.

Get the one you are most comfortable in. If you want to wear an EPIRB the Ocean is the jacket of choice.

Yes, but they all the same fit albeit some slight cosmetic strap differences on the ocean, the other two seem the same thus my question - both 190n they have pockets for PLB too.

We bought the coastal 190CS (think that's the correct number). The Crewsaver guy said they are much better value and effectively the same as the offshore other than a minor strap difference and a plastic instead of a stainless buckle.
