Can anyone recommend a good vest that is comfortable to fish in. I'm only 170cm so nothing too bulky.cheers

The ones at BCF appear to be
The ones at BCF appear to be as good and any others and are pretty well priced especially when they have their 20% sales...pretty sure there is a sale on today. All brands have to meet Aussie standards anyway I believe? Just be carefully cause there are offshore, insure and waterski versions...

I have a couple of Crewsaver ones, manual inflate, but they were and $79 each. Very comfortable.

Crewsaver
My wife bought me one from BCF (Marlin brand??) as a birthday present and I thought it was too bulky. I got a refund and bought a Crewsaver auto-inflating version. It is significantly slimmer in design. I often fish solo and strongly recommend the auto-inflate version. If you are thrown out of your boat and are unconscious, disoriented or panic - or if you have children on board and your first priority is to assist them when you all unexpectedly end up in the water - auto-inflate could be a lifesaver.
