Sometimes, while kayaking, I wear my Sterns belt pack manual inflatable. It is a type 111 with a 24 gram CO2 that provides over 30# of flotation...the same as any other vest.
Kind of funny....I do get a few looks because it is not visible from water level.
Oh...just a little hint if you like inflatables. Jump in and pull the pin to test it and then repack it yourself.....kinda like packing your own parachute. Easy to do and if needed, you know it's going to work.
