Mustang MIT 100 Inflatable PFD

Mustang’s newest inflatable, the MIT 100, shows the continued product improvement that we have come to expect from Mustang. The fabric is lighter and has some stretch content that makes the PFD 20 percent lighter and more comfortable to wear. The fold-up design is better with only one Velcro closing flap on each side that is easily opened for pre-use inspection. The arming mechanism and the auto-inflate are instantly visible and the wearer can ensure its safe operation quickly. With improved reliability, lighter weight and more comfort, there is no excuse not to wear one! About $190 for auto and $160 for manual inflate.

…you understand now why you came this way.
