Wrangler,
Thanks for posting that spec. I noticed when pricing the inflatables.....you get what you pay for with quality of construction. My understanding is once you go higher end the cartridge deployment was pretty much the same but the accessories and fabric weaves brought up the cost. Interesting when I called up the Coast Guard for boat inspection in CA. For my immersion suits they said the light needed to be Coast Guard approved but the fellows in the Coast Guard use a non approved light (I forget the manufacturer). Great product. Sometimes the quality is there but jumping through bureaucratic paperwork has some companies "beg off" getting the stamp. Sometimes they go with winning government bid.
