It uses Hydrostatic Inflator Technology, which triggers inflation from water pressure rather than moisture, so it will not inflate accidentally from rain, spray, or humidity. Once inflated, the fluorescent yellow-green inflation cell provides 28 lb (125 N) of buoyancy, more than 1.5 times the buoyancy of a standard foam PFD, and improves visibility in a rescue scenario. A backup oral inflation tube is included for manual inflation if needed, and a status indicator window shows green when the unit is ready to deploy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vest is built with a lightweight fabric shell (the same type used in the body armor industry) and a wicking mesh liner for all-day breathability. A wide shoulder system eliminates neck fatigue, dual-side adjusters let you fine-tune the fit, and a Neoprene Comfort Collar adds comfort at the neck. The waist strap closes with a buckle for a secure, low-profile fit, and the sleek inflation handle is designed to avoid snagging on gear or lines while fishing. This is a universal-size PFD fitting chest sizes 30 to 52 inches for persons weighing 80 lbs or more. A D-ring is included for attaching accessories, and the unit is re-armed after use with the MA5183 Re-Arm Kit.\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 MD5183BC-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Style:\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\u003eApproval:\u003c\/strong\u003e USCG - UL1180 - Inflatable PFDs 160.076 - Type V (Commercial Use);
