These things used to be cheap, anyone know why they've gotten so expensive?

Because not many are sold. Limited supply equals higher production costs.

Plus you shop at one of the biggest rip off places I know of. Overtons sells "inflatable water sport devices"!!!

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Wow, Vinyl vest. You are paying for nostalgia. BTW that $.05 bag of potato chips or chocolate bar is $1.29 now as well. The newer style fabric and neoprene vests are much more comfortable and do not split like those old vinyl ones.
If you do want a nice vest for <$100 there is one at the CCF store with a cool Nautique logo. |

Who said I shopped there?! :) You're right - I have found "them" to be overpriced... was just the first link that popped up when I searched for "vinyl life jacket". |

Oh I'm not vest shopping, we were just talking about how the cost of those had sky-rocketed over the last few years. Some folks I know keep one or two on board because they dry instantly. Cheers! Tom |

Because it's vinyl and they're doing their best to price it out of the market.
