Rescue Swimmer Vest

MRV170

$331.40

Retail $437.45

The MRV170 is hailed as the first rescue swimmer vest to turn a compliance driven device into a tactical piece of equipment that actually helps get the job done. Designed for the performance driven public safety water professional who can't afford to be impeded by extra gear, this vest blends two of Mustang Survival's core competences - inflatable flotation and foam flotation - to offer a slim profile flotation solution. The MRV170 uses this combination of inherently buoyant foam and an inflatable cell to achieve a total overall minimum of 26 lbs buoyancy when inflated. This vest is inflated manually by pulling the inflation handle.

Formula to Determine Buoyancy

If a man weighs 200 pounds on land, he only weighs 10 pounds in the water.

80% of the human body is water. Water in the body has no weight in the water.

200 pounds x 80% = 160 pounds
200 pounds – 160 pounds = 40 pounds

The human body is 15% fat, fat is lighter than water.

200 pounds x 15% = 30 pounds
40 pounds – 30 pounds = 10 pounds

A 200 pound person only weighs 10 pounds in the water.

A U.S.C.G. approved Type V vest is mandated to have 17.5 pounds of buoyancy.

If a man weighs 350 pounds on land, he only weighs:

80% of the human body is water. Water in the body has no weight in the water.

350 x 80% = 280 pounds
350 pounds – 280 pounds = 70 pounds

The human body is 15% fat, fat is lighter than water.

350 pounds x 15% = 52.5 pounds
70 pounds – 52.5 pounds = 17.5 pounds

A 350 pound person weighs 17.5 pounds in the water.
