Inflatable is easier to fish in

Once you get it wet, and you will, it will inflate on it's own. If you do get one get one you can manually inflate if needed.

I love my NRS PFD. great kayak life preserver.

I have some SOSpenders I never use any more - offered to sell them to a TKFer, but he passed. They are old and, tho I tested them several times over the yeas that I used them, the chances of them not working in a pinch is just not worth risking. I now have a PFD that has very low profile lines around the arms and shoulders. When I get out to wade, I take it off. If I am fishing from the kayak, or boat, it is not so cumbersome as to bother me much - and I'm used to it now. It is comfortable enough that in a power boat, I keep it on whenever we are running.

Mine is similar to this in price and design:

NRS Chinook. If I did't use the pockets for various things (phone, vhf, line clippers, snack bar..) I'd forget I have it on.
