We have 8 on board, seem good and very comfortable. Only thing to mention is the pin that holds the plunger away from the canister in normal operation is quite slim & flimsy. (it breaks when the cord is pulled in anger) On 2 occasions we have had to buy "Rearming kits" to replace pins that had broken. Probably by kids being a bit boisterous but they had gone and only providence had stopped the things inflating. Otherwise good kit and fit via toggles onto the Gill Storm Jackets perfectly, making putting them on a doddle, with the jacket!

I've got 2 and have used them both "in anger" - well ok we were practising. Happy to say they worked fine. Both atleast 8 yrs old and have required nothing but an annual check-up. No problems - especially not at £54 these were atleast £60 when new. As with all jackets, make sure you get crutch or thigh straps though - they can be useless without them.

Maybe next time you call in you can chat through what dramas you are having with it.
