Mustang Survival

<h3>About Mustang Survival</h3><p><strong>Mustang Survival</strong> has been engineering life-saving marine gear since 1967, building a reputation that extends from recreational boaters all the way to the U.S. Navy, coast guards, and elite rescue swimmers around the world. For over 55 years, Mustang Survival has been engineering high-performance marine gear for military, coast guard, rescue personnel, and law enforcement. Headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, the brand combines rigorous applied research with real-world field testing to produce gear that performs when it matters most.</p><h3>A Legacy of Innovation on the Water</h3><p>Since 1967, Mustang Survival has designed, engineered, and manufactured flotation products that push the boundaries of what is possible in marine safety. One of the brand's most notable milestones came in the 1990s, when Mustang Survival was the first to manufacture a contemporary inflatable life jacket — a breakthrough that ultimately led to widespread adoption across both recreational and professional markets. Mustang technological advancements like durable radio-frequency welded seams trickled down into their first-generation inflatable belt pack, and the U.S. Navy promptly made this model standard-issue across its fleet.</p><p>Today, the brand's product development continues to be driven by the needs of professionals operating in extreme environments. Like most Mustang products, innovations often have professional origins, starting as rescue swimmer vests for first responders in helicopter rescues before being refined and made available to the wider public.</p><h3>Personal Flotation Devices for Every Mission</h3><p>Mustang Survival specializes in USCG Type I to V personal flotation devices (PFDs), offering a range of inflatable and manual PFDs, life vests, and life jackets. Whether you need a slim-profile <a href="/14147-mustang-survival-life-vests-inflatables-202173">inflatable life vest</a> for offshore sailing, a dependable <a href="/14147-mustang-survival-life-vests-200610">foam life vest</a> for high-contact activities, or a kid-friendly <a href="/14147-mustang-survival-life-vests-202172">youth life jacket</a> for family boating, Mustang has a solution engineered to the highest safety standards.</p><p>A standout example of Mustang's engineering philosophy is the Khimera Dual Flotation PFD. Designed to bridge the gap between a bulky foam vest and a slim inflatable, the Khimera PFD combines always-on buoyancy with a low-profile fit — making it ideal for paddlers, anglers, and sailors who want comfort without sacrificing safety. For professional-grade inflatable protection, the award-winning HIT&trade; inflatable PFD with hydrostatic inflator technology is Mustang Survival's best-in-safety inflatable PFD.</p><h3>Marine Seating &amp; Beyond</h3><p>Mustang Survival's commitment to on-water safety also extends to functional boating accessories. Their <a href="/14147-mustang-survival-seat-201498">marine seat cushions</a> serve double duty as USCG-approved Type IV throwable flotation devices — a practical solution that keeps safety gear close at hand on any vessel. Their products extend to water rescue equipment, accessories, and outdoor survival gear, making Mustang Survival a comprehensive source for anyone who takes their time on the water seriously.</p><h3>Trusted by Professionals, Built for Everyone</h3><p>For 55 years, Mustang Survival has been engineering high-performance marine gear for military, coast guard, and rescue personnel — with a focus on applied research and field testing, committed to protecting and enhancing the performance of those who push themselves to extremes.

Product Details

The Mustang Survival Elite 190 is a premium offshore inflatable life jacket designed for sailors, anglers, and boaters who demand exceptional safety and all-day comfort in coastal and offshore environments. Built with the same innovative bladder technology as Mustang's award-winning ATLAS line, this PFD delivers professional-grade protection without compromising mobility or comfort.

Advanced ADAPT Technology:

The Elite 190 features ADAPT (Advanced Airway Protection & Turning) technology with three critical safety components: specialized bladder lobes that turn the wearer face-up in the water, baffle barriers positioned near the chin to redirect incoming waves away from the face, and an integrated pillow that provides essential head support and stability. This technology delivers 188N/42 lbs of buoyancy, exceeding the requirements for Harmonized Level 70 certification.

Key Features:

  • UL1180 Type II approved, USCG and Transport Canada certified to Harmonized Level 70 standard
  • Hammar MA1 automatic inflator with Hydrostatic Inflation Technology (HIT) - maintenance-free for 5 years
  • Prevents accidental inflation from rain, spray, or humidity
  • Ergonomically shaped to sit off the neck for extended comfort without shoulder strain
  • Built-in compatibility for AIS and PLB devices
  • Engine kill switch loop integrated into design
  • Modular design accepts optional accessories including leg straps (MA3032), sprayhood (MA3150), and light (HD7128)
  • Universal adult sizing with flexible, adaptable fit
  • Red and black color scheme for high visibility

The Elite 190 represents the evolution of inflatable PFD technology, offering offshore-ready performance in a lightweight package that users will actually want to wear all day. The Hammar MA1 inflator is exclusively available through Mustang Survival in North America and activates only when submerged below 4 inches of water, providing reliable protection without false triggers.
