I like the crewsaver crewfit.
In fact I have 5 of them lol. Very comfy and not at all restrictive.

As Chris says, try them out at the chandlers first is the best idea.
My crewsavers are a mix of manual, auto and hammar. Depends who’s wearing them and their state of panic should the worst happen.

What’s the difference between the standard Auto and the Hammar?
