With a hydrostatic it has to be submerged under water between 4 or 5 inches or so to activate. With a hydrostatic model you can fish in the pouring down rain all day and it is fine......if it is not it won't be long before enough water soaks into the button and it activates the cylinder. They cost more but you must fall in the water for them to activate. The ones I had I could only wear them in dry weather....and I can tell you that if you have one of those on and it activates while your sitting in your boat seat fishing, and you're not expecting it it will wake you up....LOL. It should tell you if it is a hydrostatic.
