MD3196 - The Mustang Survival MD3196 is a compact life preserver that has been designed specifically for easy integration with body armor and tactical vests that use a MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing system. The low-profile design provides flotation capability for body armor wearers, with minimal bulk or interference. The color of the cover, for the tan version, is Coyote Tan. The inflated cell on this special operations version uses a subdued olive green bladder with no reflective tape.
Reliable Inflation Using Hydrostatic Inflation Technology HIT™, the MD3196 SO will not inflate prematurely due to rain, humidity or wind driven sea spray. The inflatable cell achieves full inflation within seconds of immersion in 4 or more inches of water, or with a simple pull of the beaded handle. An oral inflation tube located on the left lobe provides backup inflation, if necessary.
Quick Integration and Easy Repacking A three point attachment system provides quick integration to a MOLLE style vest. SecureZip™ closure with stands rigorous activity and is easy to repack.
Low Maintenance No inflator maintenance is required for five years, unless inflated.
Optional Manual Conversion Cap The Hydrostatic Inflation System uses an automatic inflator that can be converted to a manual only system. The optional manual conversion cap, MA7219, can be installed on the water inlet port preventing the automatic operation. This manual conversion cap provides for optimal mission planning and allows operator to select the inflation capability (manual or automatic) prior to the mission.
In-water Performance Tests with the life preserver attached to a typical body armor vest successfully demonstrated the ability of the LP to self right and float the wearer.
Durable Protection Designed for the Law Enforcement professional offering durable flotation protection for operators in marine environments.
Two Options for Wear Can be attached to body armor vest or worn as a stand alone life preserver using the chest belt / crotch strap assembly MA3090.
