Mustang Survival MIT 70 Manual Inflatable PFD

Manual inflation means the vest will not inflate automatically when submerged in water. You must pull the inflation handle yourself to deploy the bladder, which gives you complete control and prevents accidental inflation from heavy spray or rain.

This is a manual inflatable PFD, meaning it requires you to be conscious and capable of pulling the inflation cord to activate it. If you are not a strong swimmer or anticipate being knocked unconscious, an automatic inflatable or a traditional foam life jacket is a safer choice.

The MIT 70 features a convenient inspection window that allows you to quickly check the status of your inflator without unpacking the vest. If the indicator shows green, the PFD is armed and ready; if it shows red, you need to re-arm it.

Beyond regular visual inspections, you will need to re-arm the device after any inflation. You should use the specific Re-arm Kit K (Model #MA4041) to ensure the mechanism functions correctly for your next outing.
