Mustang Survival

<h3>About Mustang Survival</h3><p><strong>Mustang Survival</strong> has been at the forefront of marine safety for nearly six decades. <a href="/14147-mustang-survival">Founded in 1967</a> by Irv Davies in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company began as Mustang Sportswear Ltd. and quickly earned a reputation for engineering gear that could handle the unforgiving conditions of the Pacific Northwest. Today, headquartered in Burnaby, BC, Mustang Survival is recognized worldwide as a leader in personal flotation devices, technical marine apparel, and water rescue equipment.</p><h3>A Legacy Built on Innovation</h3><p>One of the brand's earliest breakthroughs came in 1970, when Irv Davies invented the Floater Coat — the first garment to combine the buoyancy of a life preserver with the warmth of a cold-weather jacket. That spirit of purposeful innovation has defined every product Mustang Survival has introduced since. By 1974, the company's vest designs had earned approval from the Canadian Coast Guard, and the U.S. Coast Guard soon followed, cementing Mustang Survival's role as a trusted partner for professional mariners and military personnel alike.</p><p>Over the decades, Mustang Survival expanded its product portfolio to cover the full spectrum of USCG Type I through Type V personal flotation devices, including both manual and automatic inflatable designs. Using techniques like wind tunnel testing, the engineering team has developed products such as aerodynamic 3D chassis systems that reduce drag at high speeds — a detail that has made certain Mustang Survival inflatable PFDs favorites on the professional bass fishing circuit and among offshore racers.</p><h3>Who Relies on Mustang Survival?</h3><p>Mustang Survival gear is trusted across a remarkably wide range of users. Military teams, coast guard personnel, swift-water rescue professionals, and law enforcement agencies rely on Mustang's drysuits and flotation devices in the most demanding environments imaginable. At the same time, recreational boaters, anglers, sailors, kayakers, and paddleboarders count on the brand's consumer lineup for comfort and confidence on everyday outings. This dual focus — elite professional performance made accessible to everyday adventurers — is a defining characteristic of everything Mustang Survival produces.</p><h3>Inflatable PFDs &amp; Life Vests</h3><p>At the heart of the Mustang Survival catalog are its <a href="/14147-mustang-survival-life-vests-inflatables-200611">inflatable life vests and PFDs</a>. These range from compact belt-pack designs ideal for warm-weather paddling to full offshore-rated inflatables built for open-ocean conditions. Many feature Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT), which automatically deploys the vest when submerged, even if the wearer is incapacitated. Reflective accents, manual override handles, and rearming kit compatibility round out a lineup designed to perform when it matters most.</p><h3>Drysuits, Outerwear &amp; Beyond</h3><p>Beyond flotation, Mustang Survival brings more than 55 years of drysuit and outerwear expertise to gear designed for demanding elite users. Their foul-weather jackets, bibs, and technical apparel are engineered with breathable, waterproof fabrics and are field-tested alongside military and rescue professionals. Whether you&apos;re running a boat in heavy chop, conducting a swift-water rescue, or spending a long day casting in cold rain, Mustang Survival outerwear is built to keep you dry, mobile, and focused.</p><h3>Why Choose Mustang Survival?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Nearly 60 years of marine safety engineering rooted in Pacific Northwest conditions</li><li>Full range of USCG Type I–V PFDs, both foam and inflatable</li><li>Innovative technologies like Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT) for automatic inflation</li><li>Products trusted by military, coast guard, and water rescue professionals worldwide</li><li>Gear designed for professionals but made accessible to recreational users of all experience levels</li><li>Rigorous testing and compliance with U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard regulations</li></ul>
