<p>Inflatable life vests and PFDs that I have seen so far are meant to be inflated in emergency (either by mouth or CO2 cartridge). I didn't use them myself but they don't look like they could be deflated and then reused (or at least I think they were not designed with that in mind).</p> <p>Are there any vests that are suitable for reusing multiple times (on one trip, so without access to services, heavy tools, etc.)? Bonus points for mouth inflation, sturdiness and low weight.</p> <p>To clarify my intentions: I'm planning to use it for packrafting, so I would inflate it on the shore, not if I happen to fall into the water.</p>
