The good ones also come with a winching ring built in - hopefully you will never need it.

Isnt really worth buying unless it has a crotch strap. I'll go for the service, 40e is grand out.

I'll manually inflate mine and hang it up for a day or two.
This was my favourite jacket one time until this showed up after one of my tests.
