Fishing Gear: Mustang Survival MIT 100 Manual Inflatable PFD

Mustang Survival MIT 100 Manual Inflatable PFD

Description and Application: This front entry manual inflatable PFD has a streamlined design for comfort and safety in calm water conditions. Exclusive Membrane Inflatable Technology (MIT) and durable high tenacity nylon face fabric provide a lightweight and flexible fit. A manual inflation cord lets you deploy it by hand when needed. The simple 1-fold design makes re-packing a cinch when it comes time to recharge, and safety checks are easy with the inflator inspection window and access flap. The MIT 100 Manual Inflatable PFD provides 28 pounds of buoyancy and will turn most wearers face-up when inflated. One size fits most, but a compatible Buckle Belt Extender (model #MA7637) is available.

Staff Perspective: Comfort and ease of use are two important features for me with this style of PFD. It can be put on and taken off quickly, and most importantly it’s reliable if it needs to be deployed. Anytime the big engine is running, those in my boat wear this type of life preserver. Plus, it really is easy to repack if deployed. Be sure to check local and state regulations, and if you’re tournament fishing, make sure this style of PFD is approved by the tournament director.
