Mustang Survival Corp Inflatable PFD with HIT (Auto Hydrostatic) and Bright Fluorescent Inflation Cell

Love it, it’s probably the thinnest auto inflatable personal flotation device out there right now, super comfortable and used by the government teams I was told.

When I’m running down the lake at 76mph I wanna feel safe . I hope I’m never in the situation that I need it. This life jacket is so lightweight and comfortable. At times I forget I’m even wearing it .

This is my 2nd one. It is so comfortable, I've forgotten I had it on and drove all the way home still wearing it! I'm old and clumsy, and fish alone all the time. I needed something that I will wear all the time, and deploy whether I'm conscious or not in case I fall in.

These are not hot or uncomfortable so you don't mind wearing them!

The wife and I finally upgraded from our bulky PFD's to these wonderfully light and compact Automatic PFD's. We fish on a Ranger Pro Tournament Bass boat and are usually on the water a minimum of 4 hours. During that time you would never know you were wearing this PFD. Even on those scorching hot days it was a none issue. I actually wear this all the time now, as opposed to leaving my old one draped over the chair. I am a big guy, size 50 sport coat, and this fits like a glove. My wife, who is small in stature, has a perfect fit as well so the adjustments are infinite to fit a wide variety of figures. I have even been out with my storm suit on and this vest was easily adjustable to fit over my suit. It must be worn over the most outer layer of clothing. It can be inflated one of 3 ways: By falling into more than 4" of water, automatic inflate; by pulling the rip cord; and there is a manual inflation tube as well. Both vests came with a rescue whistle attached. There is a small zippered pocket for essentials onthe lower left exterior part of the vest. Yes, it is a little more expensive than your regular PFD's, but it is your life at stake and by not wearing a PFD could be a life changing experience. You will not even notice this is on you...but if you need it...it does the job with no thought from the user. Highly, highly recommend this for anyone wanting the best protection while on the water.

This is my third attempt at buying a mustang self inflating pfd. First one almost chocked ne out (tournament bass onne). Second was the hit, but the strap was sewn on turned back so it was impossible to adjust properly. So now my third. I have used it twice and really enjoy it. But it was weeks of stress to get the one that was put together correctly and fit properly.

We conduct drug and alcohol testing on the vessels in the ports of Long Beach and San Pedro. Many times we have to take a tow vessel to the ships located inner or outer anchorage at the ports. Wearing my own life vest makes me feel protected in the event of an emergency especially when I climb up the pilot ladders. I would highly recommend this vest.

The saying "you get what you pay for" applies for this PFD. I compared them to others and these are far superior to what I witnessed out there. Easy to adjust, easy to put on, and easy on weight. Mind you, to replace the inflation parts after inflation in the water, you will have to cough up about 70 bucks for a replacement unit because of how it's designed. And that's about what inferior PDFs go for. BUT the real question is whether safety is important to you. If it is, and you want comfort, this is the one. (not tested in water)
