Mustang Survival M.I.T. 100 Auto Inflate Life Vest, Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades Camo, USCG Type III

The Mustang Survival M.I.T. 100 (MD2016CM-261) is an automatic inflatable PFD finished in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camo. It uses Mustang's Membrane Inflatable Technology (M.I.T.) inflation cell, a design built to reduce product weight and create a lighter, more flexible fit than typical inflatable life vests. Automatic inflation self-rights most wearers within seconds of water entry, and a manual inflation cord is included as a backup if you need to trigger inflation by hand.

The outer shell is built from 500 Denier Cordura for durability in everyday use on the water. An inflator inspection window and easy-access flap let you check the inflation mechanism without fully opening the vest, and the vest uses a 1-fold, easy-to-repack design after use. Once inflated, the M.I.T. 100 provides 26 lb (100 N) of buoyancy, about 1.5 times the buoyancy of a regular foam PFD.

The M.I.T. 100 is approved by the USCG under UL1180, Inflatable PFDs 160.076, as Type V for commercial use and Type III for recreational use. It is sized as an adult universal fit for wearers 80 lbs and over, age 16 and up, with a chest range of 30 inches to 52 inches, making it a practical auto-inflate option for anglers and boaters who want a low-profile, camo-pattern PFD.
