    Default Float Tube - What PFD are you using?

    I'm new to the tube and wondering what people are using (or not). I thought maybe an inflatable would be the lowest profile? Thanks for any input.

    I have a Mustang, inflates when submerged. It has a clip in from and fits well. I like it.

    Second the Mustang with the auto inflate feature. In fact I wear it whenever I'm on the water. Us old guys have to be careful?

    Only way to go is the inflatable. You forget you are wearing it, and will wear it more often (always in my case). Mine are from West Marine, auto inflate.

    Thank you for the responses. Inflatable it is.

    Rite Aid life vest, I put it under my rump on the seat and adds some extra weight capacity to my tube . If I need it, I just lean over and pull it out (I have tested the procedure out, in preparation for an emergency). Correct me if I'm wrong but you are required to have on the vessel but not have it on at all times unless you are a child?
