Dive Rite SMB

[SereDiver]

I was in the market for a new SMB and was considering the one at Dive Rite Express. It's kinda expensive at $98 but if it is well made I would consider it. It's 60" x 5", has an OPV, has an open bottom so it can be inflated with a second stage, an oral/power inflator and a built in carrying sleeve.
This will be my first time buying an SMB and not sure how it compares to what else is out there. I know there are much cheaper ones out there but I prefer buying better quality for something that will last longer and be more usefull. I would appreciate any feedback from anyone familiar with this SMB. Thanks!

I have had my "DAN" SMB for almost 5 years. Similar in size and options. Still works well and the size is an advantage if you really need to be seen. The 42" versions sold are a bit short IMO.

I have this SMB and have been using it for a little over 3 years now. Never had any problems with it at all. OK, it is starting to fade and is not a bright as it first was.
