Mustang MIT 100 Inflatable PFD – Manual

The Mustang MIT 100 Inflatable PFD – Manual is a high-performance, lightweight personal flotation device designed for safety and comfort during water activities. Its manual inflation system makes it an ideal choice for experienced water enthusiasts who prefer control over when to activate buoyancy. Perfect for boating, kayaking, sailing, or paddleboarding, the MIT 100 is built to meet the needs of recreational users and professionals alike.

Key Features

1. Manual Inflation System
   The manual inflation system requires the wearer to pull a cord to activate the CO2 cylinder for buoyancy. This allows for greater flexibility and is ideal for situations where automatic inflation may not be desirable, such as when entering the water intentionally.

2. Hydrostatic-Inflation Technology (HIT)
   Designed with precision, the MIT 100 features hydrostatic-inflation technology to ensure activation only when you need it. This keeps the device lightweight and low-profile until deployment.

3. Lightweight and Low-Profile Design
   Weighing less than traditional foam PFDs, the MIT 100’s slim, ergonomic design ensures ease of movement, reducing bulk and making it comfortable for all-day wear.

4. Durable Construction
   Crafted with 500D Cordura® fabric, the PFD is abrasion-resistant and built to withstand the rigors of marine environments, ensuring long-lasting durability.

5. Comfortable Fit
   Adjustable straps and a flexible fit make this PFD suitable for various body sizes. It’s designed to sit snugly without causing discomfort, even during extended use.

6. High Visibility
   Once inflated, the bright yellow bladder and reflective accents ensure you’re easily spotted in the water, even in low-light conditions.

7. Easy to Repack
   The reusable design allows for simple re-arming and repacking after deployment. This feature ensures you can continue using the device with a minimal recurring cost.

8. USCG Approved (Type III)
   The MIT 100 meets U.S. Coast Guard approval for Type III PFDs, making it a reliable and legal choice for recreational boating.
