I've always been very comfortable in or around water. And I've never really worried about wearing my life jacket full time as long as I've had it with me while I'm in a boat. This year, besides being a year older (61), I'm dealing with a less than full use of one arm due to a torn rotator cuff. So I've decided it would be smart to wear some sort of flotation full time while I'm on the water. With this in mind, I've decided that if I have to wear it, I want it to be as comfortable as possible. That put me on the search for an inflatable model. After doing some searching, I see several different brands and features available. What I would like to know is if anyone has any recommendations of what to look for or what to avoid as far as features, brand, model, etc, and why.
I don't want to break the bank, but I also don't want to go too cheap on what could turn out to be an extremely important item. As it stands right now, I'm leaning toward a Mustang manual inflation model which runs a little over $100.
