Rated 5 out of 5 by McRae from worth every penny The H.I.T. life vest is the way to go, very comfortable . I use to wear a life vest only occasionally while fishing. The ones I had were bulky, hot and just not comfortable. I had one with M.I.T. technology that was comfortable but if it got the slightest bit damp it would charge up (not good when you are running full out in a bass boat.). This one you can wear all the time without worrying about overspray from a boat charging it up. This H.I.T. vest charges by water pressure, not by getting it wet. It has a handle that can be pulled also to manually charge it up if you wish. I'm a fairly good sized guy @ 250lbs and this fits me just fine. Get one of these. Your life may depend on it. An unworn life jacket will not help you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DGEllis from Very Comfortable Fit! I purchased this life vest to wear the entire time out on the water. This is my first vest of this type. We have had a lot of people falling into the water in East Texas lately and never coming back up. Really got me to thinking about my own safety when out on the water. I know most of those people probably knew how to swim. So, I decided I was not going to be one of those stats. Thus the Mustang PFD. Really impressed with the comfort level and it hasn't been a problem so far. I think this was a wise decision.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skeeter90 from Mustang life vest I purchased this to replace an older inflatable. This is much more comfortable than my old vest. Which was the primary purpose in the purchase as more comfort means more wear time. I have not had an occasion to try the flotation and intend not to however the Mustang has a very good reputation and I have no reservation as to the safety and flotation capability of the vest. I am very happy with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BigOrangeBasser1 from Best Inflatable PFD period. Very great PFD. Very comfortable, can wear all day. Very easy to put on. Some of my previous PFDs wasn't. Feel very safe wearing this. It is a little expensive but very worth it. Well made.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PJMreviemer5 from great inflatable life vest Was looking at inflatable vest for awhile others I tried on felt like I had one of those orange life vest your parents made you wear when you were a kid around your neck. this mustang elite has a low profile and it does not get in the way when you are casting you forget you have it on. the only Con about it I wish it had neoprene rubber around neck area

if I buy this life jacket is it ready to use or do I have to do something to it before I go on the water??

Asked by: soonerfan1976

what is the expiration date on this vest?

Asked by: franknyank

Ensure the current date is not past the date on the inflator. If it is, replace the inflator. See example photo below. Thanks •Verify the expiration date hasn’t passed for automatic or automatic / manual inflators; see your owner’s manual for specifics on this process. https://1source.basspro.com/index.php/component/k2/127-boating-info/3804-5-ways-to-inspect-and-maintain-an-inflatable-life-vest

Does this vest has a ring or somewhere to clip on my kill switch?

Asked by: RiverNewbie

I am new to this type of life jacket.  Once it inflates...how does it deflate in order to be used again?  We are getting a Waverunner and want something light with ease of movement etc but may want to jump off for a bit into the water, what then?

Asked by: Stonecpa

This life jacket is not recommended for use when riding a waverunner. Once submerged in water, the jacket will inflate and you will need to replace the rearming kit each time.

comfort level compared to MD3183?

what are the major differences.

Asked by: RicTO

Hi, per the manufacturer, the MD5183 is more of a Camel Back style vest, where the MD3183 has an open back. The pull cord on the MD5183 is located alongside the inflator and not hanging down from the bottom of the vest like on the MD3183, which helps prevent snagging and accidentally setting off the vest. The bladder on the MD5183 is fluorescent yellow-green and provides 28 lbs. buoyancy when inflated, where the MD3183’s bladder is yellow and provides 35 lbs. buoyancy when inflated. Below are links to our website which will take you to the spec sheet for each model: MD5183 http://mustangsurvival.com/recreational/md5183 MD3183 http://mustangsurvival.com/recreational/md3183 It’s hard to say which vest is more comfortable, as this really comes down to the customer’s preference is style. Thanks!
