It uses Hydrostatic Inflator Technology, which triggers inflation automatically from water pressure rather than from rain, spray, or humidity, avoiding the false inflations common with older auto-inflators. A wide shoulder system reduces neck fatigue, a wicking mesh liner improves all-day comfort, and dual-side adjusters let the wearer dial in fit quickly. The bright fluorescent yellow-green inflation cell provides 28 lb (125 N) of buoyancy when inflated, more than 1.5 times the buoyancy of a standard foam PFD, and improves visibility to rescuers. A status indicator window shows green when the unit is armed and ready, and a backup oral inflation tube is built in as a manual backstop. The sleek inflation handle is shaped to avoid snagging on gear, and a Neoprene Comfort Collar adds comfort and durability at the neckline. A D-ring is included for attaching accessories. This is a Universal size fitting chest sizes 30 inches to 52 inches, for persons 80 lbs or over, and is USCG approved under UL1180 Inflatable PFDs 160.076 as Type V for commercial use and Type III for recreational use. The re-arm kit for this vest is MA5183.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mustang Survival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MD5183-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mustang Elite 28 Automatic Inflatable Life Vest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inflatable Life Vest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e USCG Type V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSCG Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Type 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSCG Approval:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL1180, Inflatable PFDs 160.076, Type V (Commercial Use), Type III (Recreational Use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 pounds (125 N) when inflated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInflation Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic Hydrostatic Inflator Technology with backup oral inflation tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal, fits chest sizes 30 inches to 52 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e For persons 80 pounds or over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon shell with Neoprene Comfort Collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e D-Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRe-Arm Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e MA5183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 062533128705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much buoyancy does the Mustang Elite 28 (MD5183-13) provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e It provides 28 pounds (125 N) of buoyancy when inflated, which is more than 1.5 times the buoyancy of a standard foam PFD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MD5183-13 inflate automatically?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
