Mustang Survival

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets Mustang Survival apart from other marine-safety brands?

  Mustang Survival specializes exclusively in immersion protection and marine safety, designing products across foam, inflatable, hybrid PFDs and survival/dry suits for paddling, fishing, offshore and tactical use. The brand combines purpose-built features—AirSoft™ foam liners, Glideskin™ shells, Neoprene Comfort Collar™ and Tug‑Tite® fit systems—with USCG/Transport Canada–approved designs to balance mobility, buoyancy and real-world durability.
• What are Mustang’s key technologies and how do they improve performance?

  Technologies like AirSoft™ foam and segmented foam panels reduce ride‑up and add comfort for active users, while Glideskin™ shells and Neoprene Comfort Collars™ improve seal and abrasion resistance for long wear. Inflatable systems (e.g., MIT 70/MIT 100) use hydrostatic or manual inflators for low bulk and high buoyancy, and SecureZIP™ and Tug‑Tite® closures secure fit and retention under load.
• How do I choose between foam, inflatable, and hybrid Mustang PFDs?

  Choose foam PFDs (Topwater, Vibe) when constant inherent flotation and simple, low‑maintenance reliability matter—good for whitewater and frequent immersion. Pick inflatable models (MIT 70, MIT 100, Compact Tactical LPU) for minimal bulk and mobility on paddlesports or offshore trips where upright flotation and auto/manual inflation are acceptable. Hybrids like the Khimera Dual Flotation combine both for gear‑heavy trips or variable conditions, offering foam stability plus an inflatable boost.
• What materials and construction features make Mustang suits and vests durable in severe conditions?

  Mustang uses heavy‑duty fabrics and immersion‑rated laminates—examples include 500D CORDURA® outer shells and GORE‑TEX® immersion layers in Sentinel™ dry suits—combined with reinforced seams, replaceable layers and abrasion‑resistant coatings for long service life. Tactical pieces use body‑armor‑grade outer fabrics and secure attachment points, while features like SOLAS tape and reinforced zippers (SecureZIP™) add both safety and longevity.
