Extraordinary House of Hardy self inflating fly fishing floatation vest, size large

An absolutely wonderful thing, a multiple pocket fly fishing vest, complete with concealed CO2  canister, which is designed to inflate automatically when immersed in water, presumably if wading too deep and caught in a surge. Failing that there is also a rip cord, an integral whistle and a mouthpiece to blow up, or so it would appear. Two front velcro flaps open up to reveal this apparatus, which is sold here without having been checked so therefore only as clothing rather than for safety purposes. Hardy's is of course the top name in fly fishing kit and this is a typically high quality piece of kit.

Measures 24" pit to pit and 23.5" in length.
