Marine Accessories

We are innovators, educators, partners, and industry leaders. We are committed to people – the people who work at Mustang Survival and the people who rely on the products we build. We are committed to quality. We are committed to the boating community to provide a great mustang life jacket

When Mustang Survival made the very first Floater Coat in 1967 we established ourselves as an industry leader in the design and manufacture of cutting edge innovation. Gone were the days of the kapok-filled life jacket and in was the flotation revolution.

Today, we maintain our reputation for world-class research, design, and manufacture of superior safety and protection garments.

Life jackets and vests are generally constructed of nylon or neoprene. Fit is major difference between the two. Nylon life jackets must be snug but clasped or otherwise closed around the body, with the sections of the jacket meeting without overlap. Neoprene life vests fit very snugly on the body when dry, as they do expand in the water and will loosen. A Neoprene life jacket are often considered much more comfortable and seem to afford more flexibility and freedom of movement, particularly for those engaging in rigorous activities such as water skiing and paddling.

Beyond a less “boxy” and more cozy fit, the more streamlined Neoprene life vests offer an added benefit that may prove critical during a water emergency, and also more comfortable during standard water sporting. That is, Neoprene life vests insulate the body against cold and allow retention of the body’s own heat, although the Neoprene itself is usually only about 5mm thick. If colder waters or extended immersion time are a potential factor in sporting, Neoprene is most preferred by water enthusiasts.

Children grow so we need to make sure we have the proper size childrens life jackets for our children because they are not safe in a children s life jacket that does not fit properly.  Their are a lot of childrens life jackets to choose from so it is easy to find the one that fits them properly and you can choose the proper size by the weight of the child.  Their are a lot of colors and characters life jackets to choose so it is easy to find one that you child will want to wear.

A dog life vest will save your dog if they fall in the water from your boat or slip off of the dock.  Dogs can panic just like people if the fall in the water accidentally and this can cause them to drown.  Their are a lot of places to purchase a dog life vest and they are not very expensive, also make sure you get one with the handle on top because it is easier to pull your scared dog out of the water with the handle.  Make sure a dog life vest is on your marine accessories list.

No one knows for sure how their dog will react to things that happen on your boat when out on the lake or river.  Dog life jackets should be an important item on you marine accessories list because no matter how well you think your dog can swim you do not know how it will react to panic situations that happen such as hitting a big wave and your dog falls in the water, it could panic just as a human and not be able to swim so make sure you have dog life jackets for your dog to wear.

Their should be several safety items on your marine accessories list and childrens life jackets should be one of them and one that you have to update all the time because your children grow.  Childrens life jackets range from infant to teen with lots of style and colors to choose from.  The Coast Guard says that any child twelve or under must wear a life jacket but you have to make sure that if they or over twelve that they can handle the water safely without a childrens life jacket.

The best Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is the one you wear. That’s why choosing the Mustang Life Jacket that best fits your favorite water sports activity is important. Foam vests are great for active in-the-water adventures while inflatable PFDs are quickly becoming commonplace in most other marine activities. Manually inflating PFDs are a good choice for people who are comfortable in the water and expect to be spending some time in it, such as paddlers or river fishermen. If you don?t expect to end up in the water, but want the confidence of knowing that your Mustang Life Jacket will inflate automatically in seconds if the unexpected happens, an automatic inflatable PFD is your best choice . Our exclusive HIT? (Hydrostatic Inflator Technology) automatic inflatable PFDs are perfect if you spend time in high humidity or wet weather.

Manual inflatable Mustang Life Jackets inflate by pulling the jerk tab that hangs from the PFD at waist-height whereas automatic inflatable PFDs inflate when immersed in water (or by manually pulling the jerk tab). All of our Inflatable PFDs provide 35 lb buoyancy when inflated and at least 3 1/4″ of freeboard (distance between the mouth and the surface of the water). Remember to check your inflatable PFD regularly to ensure it is in good working order and ready to be called into action when needed.

Definition of Neoprene: a synthetic rubber that is resistant to oils and aging; used in waterproof products

• It can be wiped by hand with soap and water, or it can be placed in the washing machine. To make sure neoprene life vest stay clean and last as long as possible, they usually should be covered with a pillowcase and put in the washer.
• The reason you may be allergic to neoprene could be a sensitivity to several different compounds used to cure and harden the natural rubber. Traces of these chemicals can remain in the finished neoprene product and cannot be easily removed through ordinary washing. When someone is truly allergic to neoprene, any extended contact could cause a reaction.

The most important marine accessories is life jackets for everyone on your boat which is required by the Coast Guard, you can have universal life jackets or life jackets by size.  Almost all drownings or when people are not wearing life jackets which are products that are easy to find and purchase.   Life jackets come in all sizes that will fit everyone and their are even life jacket for your dog.  The internet will probably offer you the largest selection of life vest and in all price ranges.

Well I know someone that just got a new dog which is a beagle who can not stand water so what is this going to do when they take it out on the boat?  Well we can just think about how it is going to freak out and probably end up in the water and will panic and not swim, so I hope part of your marine accessories list is a dog life vest then all you have to do is grab the dog life vest and pull the dog out of the water which make this boating trip great because you did not loose a great dog.
