Clearly we use our boats in different circumstances. Ive had my boat out in 30mph winds and with a 65lbs trolling motor I fail to see any way how the boat can roll over. That scenario seems extreme to me.
But each to their own, the OP asked for a reasonably priced Boyancy aid and I gave him one 👍

No one is a capable swimmer if they're unconscious.
If a boat goes over and it, or something cracks you on the noggin you'll be glad you had a proper lifejacket on.

Look at the Baltic Mist Boyancy vests. Inexpensive and does the job. Comes in green also and comfortable.
Don't need anything more if you are a capable swimmer

I bought a Seago Active 190 Lifejacket - Auto, Navy for £74.95, and a refill kit (£21.95) from the marine super store.
They have videos on YouTube and once I’d viewed them I also phoned the shop and spoke to someone in depth about exactly what I wanted.
At the end of the day it’s not a lot to save your life, even if you do only use it once a year (the refills are good for 5 years)
