Mustang Survival M.I.T. 100 Inflatable PFD

The PFD uses a water-sensitive inflator that triggers when submerged. Once the sensor detects water, it punctures a CO2 cylinder, instantly inflating the bladder to provide buoyancy.

Yes, every unit is equipped with a manual backup cord. If you need to inflate the vest before hitting the water or if the automatic sensor doesn't trigger, simply pull the cord to activate the CO2 cylinder.

Absolutely. Its low-profile, lightweight design is specifically engineered for high-mobility activities where traditional, bulky foam life jackets might restrict your range of motion.

Repacking is straightforward. Once you have deflated the bladder, you simply fold it according to the provided instructions and secure it back into the outer shell. You will need to replace the CO2 cylinder and the inflator bobbin before using it again.

This model offers 28 lbs of buoyancy. This is significantly higher than the standard 15.5 lbs typically found in basic foam PFDs, providing extra support in the water.

While it provides excellent buoyancy, inflatable PFDs are generally recommended for confident swimmers who are comfortable in the water. If you are a non-swimmer or anticipate being in rough, high-impact conditions, a traditional foam life jacket is often a safer choice.
