As the person who selected and purchased the Crewsaver 190N's for the crew, I went on a very good practical test result in a respected magazine. I tried on others, but the fit and comfort were the over-riding factors.
The fact that it can provide more lift than a 150N is a bonus for the crew and again the different sized front lobes provide enormous turning momentum to turn you upright in the water.
You pays your money and takes your choise, I would buy the Crewsaver again, as we have put in several years of average use, since May and they are still "as new".
I did like the spinlocks, but found them difficult to get fit right compared to the Crewsaver.

or you can pick one up at most lifeboat stations and some yacht clubs. I have given out over 200 to clubs in Fife.

Around £100 if you are an RYA Instructor and member of RYA, you get good discount on Musto stuff too.
