          Pump sticks after a few uses

              Comments about Seattle Sports Basic Safety Kit:

              I have noticed as others have noted in reviews for the pump itself that the pump does begin to stick after a few uses.

              I used the pump after practicing self rescue techniques and used also as a water gun(worked great). But, after all that, I noticed that it doesn't glide as well as it used to. Everything else works flawless. I also like the pouch the kit came with.

              I would suggest to "Seattle Sports" perhaps make the pump either serviceable or figure out why the thing sticks after a few uses. Would be a very bad thing to run into such a "safety" issue in the ocean out in the middle of nowhere. Don't you think?

                  I flipped my sea kayak over this past weekend and the paddle float and pump both worked great.

                        Although I never have and never will flip my kayak :-) I bought this set to please my wife.

                        All kidding aside this is a great set that has everything you need. The float has plenty of volume even for a 220 lbs paddler like me, the pump works well and the whistle can be heard from a long distance away.

                        So even though you will certainly never flip either, I recommend you get this kit.

                        Comments about Seattle Sports Basic Safety Kit:

                        Thankfully I haven't needed this in a serious situation. However I have used it plenty of times in practicing my capsizing/re-entry techniques and it works great. The water pump is a little bulky, but I just keep it on my deck rigging. The paddle float works great, I keep the whistle attached to my PFD and I use the mesh bag for everything. All around great purchase.

                        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
