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.
