| Life jackets SOSpender World Class Automatic 
|
Status: | OK |
| In a nutshell: | We would wear this life jacket all the time, even if it weren't required by the Type V labelling | |
| Other products tried: | Various Type II & III foam PFDs | |
| What's happened: | Nothing - SOSpenders are working as advertised. | |
| What's planned: | Mustang Bomber Type III flotation jacket. Since we're wearing a jacket 75-80% of time, why not? | |
| Binoculars Fujinon Nautilus AR-SX 7x50  |
Status: | OK |
| In a nutshell: | A great set of binoculars, although a bit heavy | |
| Other products tried: | Sea Bowld BR7500 7x50 | |
| What's happened: | Nothing; The Fujinons replaced the Sea Bowlds, which are a decent set of binoculars for the price (around $130), but do not seem as bright in low light as the Fujinons. Also, the Sea Bowlds were not weatherproofed, and had a tendency to fog when left exposed to cool, moist air. | |
| What's planned: | Stabilized image binoculars, not sure which brand yet. | |
| Radar Reflector Echomax 230I EM Inflatible  |
Status: | OK |
| In a nutshell: | Looks like a promising product. Collapses to the size of a thin 3-ring binder. | |
| Other products tried: | None | |
| What's happened: | How ironic - after a couple of years of heavy morning fog during the summer months, we have seen almost none in the last year. Performance is still TBD. | |
| What's planned: | Continue to wait for fog. May perform some field tests with boats with radar. | |
| Ditch Bag Bass Pro Shops Extreme Boat Bag  |
Status: | OK, but... |
| In a nutshell: | We're still looking for the ideal bag for us. This is a reasonable compromise, especially given the cost. | |
| Other products tried: | West Marine Abandon Ship Bag | |
| What's happened: |
This bag is about the right size for our storage area, but we had problems with
black dye from the cordura on the bottom staining the seat when wet, and the zipper
pulls have both come off (replaced with cord). Otherwise, a good value for the money. We tried a West Marine Abandon Ship bag for a while, but decided that it was too big. We've gone back to the BPS Extreme Boat Bag for now...More>>> |
|
| What's planned: | Continue to look for other types of bags that are in the right size range. |
