Location: New Jersey		Can anyone recommend a Inflatable PFD that is comfortable to cast in? I've yet to fall off my boat, but I'd rather not even take the chance when I'm fishing alone in December.

I've got a Stearns model that was around $60. Auto inflates if you go over, and also has a lever you can pull if it fails to inflate in its own. As for comfort? Well, it's clumsy having it on. A few guys I know wear them under their parka to keep them from getting in the way casting. Good idea.

Location: Planet Meltdown		Does anyone have any feedback on the Cabela's Essential 2500 Belt Pack? They see to be less restrictive than a vest which BTW are not designed to be worn under anything so I wouldn't suggest doing so.

Location: Maine Township, MN		I don't believe the belt packs qualify to be a legal PFD. In MN anyway...

Location: Planet Meltdown		I ended up ordering a Cabela's 3500. They are on sale for $90 on their website right now. I'm not a huge guy so hopefully this will fit comfortably over my cold weather gear.

Location: Colgate, WI		I bought the Cabelas 3500 this summer and love it. You won't even know you're wearing it.

I don't know about the other brands but I know Mustang sells a 12" extension belt for those that may need it.
