Mustang Survival Life Vests-Inflatables

Mustang Survival Inflatable Life Vests: Purpose-Built Protection on the Water

When it comes to inflatable life vests, few names carry as much credibility as Mustang Survival. With decades of engineering focused on marine safety, Mustang has developed a suite of inflatable PFD technologies that address one of the most critical challenges in water safety: delivering reliable, automatic inflation only when it truly matters — not from rain, spray, or humidity.

Signature Technologies That Set Mustang Apart

At the heart of Mustang Survival's inflatable life vest lineup is their exclusive Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT™). HIT offers reliable inflation in a low-maintenance design that automatically inflates only when submerged in 4 or more inches of water, and not inadvertently due to rain, spray, or humidity. This technology is exclusive to Mustang Survival in North America and is maintenance-free for 5 years from date of manufacture or until inflated.

Complementing HIT is Mustang's Membrane Inflatable Technology (MIT). The remarkable and exclusive MIT and high-tenacity nylon face fabric create a comfortable, lightweight, and flexible fit. Trusted by over 600,000 users, the MIT Inflatable PFD range offers manual, automatic, and convertible PFD inflation options.

Across both platforms, Mustang also integrates their patented SecureZip™ closure system. The SecureZip™ ensures the PFD will stay closed during even the most rigorous activity and still opens effortlessly upon inflation.

Product Lines for Every Application

Mustang's inflatable life vest range spans recreational, sailing, and commercial/professional use cases:

• MIT Series (MIT 70 / MIT 100): Convertible PFD models switch between automatic and manual inflation modes; when inflated, the MIT 100 provides 28 lbs of buoyancy — 1.5x more than regular foam PFDs — and will turn most wearers face up. The MIT 70 is the smallest inflatable PFD of its kind approved in North America, built to the latest USCG and Transport Canada safety rating standards.
• HIT Inflatable PFD with Harness: Designed for offshore sailing, this vest is built for the toughest marine conditions, delivering automatic inflation only when truly submerged, with 35 lbs of buoyancy and an integrated safety harness for demanding offshore use. It features two heavy-duty stainless steel D-rings for use with tethers, a safety whistle, and a water-resistant pocket.
• Elite™ 28 Inflatable PFD: This front-entry automatic inflatable PFD features a 3D chassis designed to reduce drag in high-speed adventures, with revolutionary lightweight construction and wide shoulders to eliminate neck fatigue.
• Inflatable Work Vest: Ideal for constant wear in hot, humid conditions and high-mobility requirements, the Inflatable Work Vest is available exclusively from Mustang Survival — the first of its kind, pioneering the standards for inflatable work vests.

Visibility and Safety Features

Mustang inflatable life vests are engineered with in-water rescue in mind. Features include a bright fluorescent yellow-green inflation cell for improved in-water visibility, SOLAS reflective tape, a safety whistle, and a strobe light attachment on the inflation cell. HIT automatically inflates the vest under water pressure, while a manual inflation handle allows deployment at any time, and when inflated, high-visibility contrasting fabric is displayed for increased safety in rescue situations.

Whether you're a coastal cruiser, offshore racer, or working professional on the water, Mustang Survival's inflatable life vests combine cutting-edge inflation technology with all-day comfort — delivering safety you can trust every time you leave the dock.
