Not familiar with Stearns. Worked a little in commercial fishing and many seasons on open (party) boats in the NY bight. Found a pretty even split between HH and Grundens followers in both industries. The arguements about the quality were like those between Chevy and Ford owners. Didn't even think somone would throw Chrysler into the mix. }:^)

Stearns makes just about all the live jackets you will ever see in any kind of commercial operation on the water. It's the best winter work gear. For warmer weather, yep, HH & Grunden rule the market.
