After an inflatable PFD fires, it needs a fresh cylinder before it will work again. This kit integrates with Hobie inflatable PFDs and uses a 24g CO2 cylinder that provides 26 lbs of flotation. Keeping one in your gear bag means a deployment doesn’t keep you off the water.

KayakDIY take: An inflatable only works if it’s armed, so a spare kit is cheap peace of mind. For more ideas, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
