Mustang Inflatable Vest PFD w/LIFT Auto Hydrostatic Activation

Inflatable Vest PFD with LIFT™ Auto Hydrostatic Activation

Life-saving Inflatable Flotation Technology (LIFT™:)

The MD0450 Auto Hydrostatic Inflatable Vest with LIFT™ is a lightweight inflatable PFD designed with a shorter length and a low, flexible profile to ensure total mobility during the most rigorous activities. Engineered with revolutionary LIFT™ technology for increased freeboard and Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT) for reliable inflation in a low maintenance design, the MD0450 was designed primarily for performance sailors, security and rescue professionals and people in offshore environments.

LIFT™ technology improves safety for users in variable wind and wave conditions by elevating the mouth out of the water by up to 9 inches (23cm). This increase in freeboard has been shown to reduce underwater mouth immersions by 80%, reducing the risks of drowning and exposure. Hydrostatic Inflator Technology will only automatically inflate when submerged in 4 or more inches of water and not inadvertently due to rain, spray or humidity. Made for the most severe marine environments the Auto Hydrostatic Inflatable Vest with LIFT™ will meet the challenges of the most demanding users.

Features:

• 40 lb buoyancy when inflated
  
• LIFT™ provides up to 9" of freeboard - the highest elevation out of water ever seen in a PFD - for extra safety in severe weather. This reduces mouth immersions and increases visibility to rescue crews.
