Onyx C02 Auto Manual PFD Rearming Kit, Metal Cartridge, 24 Grams

Easy to put together once I understood the directions. For me the diagram left a lot to be desired, but that could just be me. I finally got it together and it worked. That is all that really matters. The price was fair and competitive. All the the parts fit and were easy to put in.

If you are Fisherman with this type of lifevest, you know exactly what you’re getting. It works as design and needs to install.

Easy to install and brought my lifejacket back to new!

Seems like good product. Fits the vest. But had no instructions at all. I watched videos to figure it out.

goog

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My advice is watch a video on how to arm. The directions can be a little confusing

I meant to buy 2 but only ordered one so maybe I should leave a bad review. It works great but it seems like a lot of people give a 1-Star rating for their own stupidity. Like the "half-empty" review - "I just got it and haven't used it yet so I'm giving it 1-Star because I don't know that it works". Well, the only way to know for sure that this works is to use it. But if I do use it, I need to buy another one that I won't be sure works until I try it. (Oh what a wicked web.) So, if I'm in a boating mis-hap and use this and it works to inflate my PFD, I'll let you know if it worked. If you don't read any updates to this review, than one of two things occurred... either I never needed it or it didn't work. I'll tell you what, so as not to keep you wondering forever, I'll put it in my will that when I die I'll add the cause of death to this review. So opt-in for updates to this review so you'll know whether to buy one of these or not... But when you do, you won't know for sure it works unless you try it... (Crap) BTW, I'm 56 years into my life. You probably won't have too long of a wait, in the grand scheme of things.06/10/15 - For those following along at home...Still alive. I have used the vest but as of yet have had no major mishaps that would have required me to deploy it. There was this one time when a ski boat was coming in our direction and I was a little afraid of being hit but also a little excited to try the CO2 cartridge. Pro's: The boat did not hit us, it turned well before there was any danger. Con's: You're gonna have to keep waiting for a definitive answer. Sorry...08/25/2015 - Went on a week-long remote canoeing and camping trip last week. It was windy and rainy and we had a couple storms and I had my vest on the entire way... but again, we didn't capsize, no "perfect storm-like" wave flipped us. Nothing happened that would require my vest to inflate to save my life (like Chris' brush with mortality in the comments section below). Teh only thing I have to report, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but as drenched as we were by the rain, the vest never armed. So it is either designed perfectly to distinguish between drowning, and just a downpour.. Or it doesn't work at all and I totally missed a HUGE red-flag warning sign.. Oh-well. I'm leaving the review at 5-stars, assuming all is well and I'll finish out the non-ice fishing season feeling safe and secure. But don't worry, no matter what happens with me and my vest, you'll have an update by the time the water freezes and the boat is put away.

Good product hope it works.
