Mustang Survival MIT 100 Inflatable PFD

This PFD allows you to choose between automatic and manual inflation. Automatic mode triggers the vest to inflate when submerged in water, while manual mode requires you to pull the activation cord yourself, which is often preferred by paddlers who expect to get wet frequently.

The vest features a clear inspection window on the front. This allows you to quickly check the status of the inflator indicator without having to open or disassemble the vest, ensuring you are always prepared before heading out.

Not at all. The MIT 100 is designed with a simple, single-fold layout. Once you have replaced the CO2 cylinder and dried the bladder, the vest folds back into its casing easily, making it straightforward to reset for your next outing.

MIT is a construction method that uses a lighter, more flexible material for the inflatable bladder compared to traditional rubber bladders. This reduces the overall weight and bulk of the PFD, making it much more comfortable to wear for extended periods on the water.

It is rated as a Type V PFD with Type III performance, meaning it provides the same buoyancy as a standard vest but is designed for specific, less-demanding water activities. It is ideal for boating, fishing, or paddling, but it is not intended for high-impact sports like white-water kayaking or jet skiing.

You should regularly inspect the inflator status indicator through the window and check the CO2 cylinder for any signs of corrosion or damage. After every use, you must replace the CO2 cylinder using the compatible 24g Re-arm Kit L if the vest has been inflated.
