Since I also use it sailing, the auto option is nice. One of the most common
ways to end up in the water sailing is to get knocked off the boat...often
by the boom. That can mean getting knocked out on the way over, hence
autoinflate. The SOS life jacket's autoinflate can be turned off easily for
kayaking use.
