Hello All,
New member her with first post.

I recently bought a Super Fat Cat, have chest high neo waders, and am now looking for other gear. Specifically life jackets. I am attracted to the inflatable suspender type but see there is also a belt inflatable too.

Can you give me some input regarding life jackets in general, do you use one, do you prefer one, is the belt type a good solution, etc. ALSO.... what abouth the auto-inflatables. I have slipped in shallow streams and just got wet, but wouldn't like the inflatable to deploy just for that.

I'm an overweight, retired guy, an active couch potato with bad knees with a healthy respect for water.

BTW:
That shallow stream was the Colorado Blue River, in mid-winter about 5 degrees f, and I also discovered that a fly reel doesn't work worth a darn when it's frozen solid. A good lesson for carrying a spare reel.
