Mustang Survival Inflatable Life Vests: Professional-Grade Protection
When it comes to inflatable life vests, Mustang Survival has been engineering high-performance marine gear for military, coast guard, rescue personnel and law enforcement for over five decades. Their inflatable PFD line represents the pinnacle of personal flotation technology, trusted by professionals who demand reliability in the harshest conditions.
Hammar Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT)
What sets Mustang Survival apart in the inflatable vest category is their proprietary HIT system. The Hydrostatic Inflator Technology offers reliable inflation in a low maintenance design that will only automatically inflate when submerged in 4 or more inches of water and not inadvertently due to rain, spray or humidity. Exclusive to Mustang Survival in North America and maintenance-free for 5 years from date of manufacture or until inflated. This means boaters can wear their vests comfortably all day without worrying about accidental deployment from splash or weather—a critical advantage over pressure-activated systems.
Mustang Survival's Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT) is industry-leading, and automatically inflates under water pressure. The system uses a Hammar hydrostatic inflator that senses water pressure rather than simple moisture contact, providing both safety and peace of mind during extended time on the water.
Award-Winning Design and Construction
Mustang Survival's inflatable life vests combine practical innovation with durability. It also features the patented SecureZip™ closure system to ensure the PFD will stay closed during even the most rigorous activity and still opens effortlessly upon inflation. This dual-function zipper stays secure during high-speed boating, fishing, or sailing, yet won't hinder the vest's inflation when you need it most.
The Elite and HIT series vests deliver 38lb of buoyancy when inflated - twice the flotation of most foam PFDs while maintaining a low-profile, lightweight design that doesn't restrict movement. Many models feature high-visibility fluorescent yellow-green inflation cells, neoprene collars for all-day comfort, and 500D Cordura outer shells built to withstand marine environments.
Specialized Models for Every Application
Mustang Survival offers inflatable life vests tailored to specific boating activities. Their sailing models include integrated harnesses with stainless steel D-rings for tether attachment. Available exclusively from Mustang Survival, the Inflatable Work Vest is the first of its kind. Designed by Mustang's Innovation Technology experts and built for serious users, Mustang Survival has pioneered the standards for inflatable work vests. These work vests meet USCG Type V commercial use standards, making them ideal for professional mariners who need constant-wear flotation in hot, humid conditions.
Whether you're a weekend recreational boater or a professional working on the water, Mustang Survival's inflatable life vests represent a serious investment in safety backed by decades of marine engineering expertise.
