I bought one 18 months ago from Cabelas and like it pretty well... my only real complaint is that the neck is a little tight and didn't loosen much when it was broken in.

I'm 6'1" 240lbs and 18" neck.

Any of you guys have specific recommendations for auto inflatables that either have a little extra room in the neck or loosened up nicely, with some break in?

Price is not an issue on this.

Thanks

I have one of the Mustang HIT's.  I"m not sure about the actual size issue but it does have a soft lining that is comfortable next to the neck area.

I think that Mustang makes one that is more of a "proper" vest, maybe that would be better for you.

Spend the extra money for a Mustang. It has a nice neoprene neck pad that is great.

Money isn't the concern, it's purely comfort.  If it's comfy on the neck I'll keep it on.
