For more than 30 years, Mustang Survival has been committed to providing life support solutions for people exposed to the most hazardous environment. Through constant innovation and the application of new technologies and processes they have become established as a leading supplier of protective garments to the most demanding users, from weekend sailors and power boaters to jet fighter pilots and even NASA astronauts.

Did you ever wonder why so many marine professionals insist on Mustang?

It's because every stitch that comes out of Mustang Survival is made as though lives depend on it. An lives do.

In fact, the US Navy, US Air Force, NASA, US Coast Guard, military and law enforcement agencies around the world all depend on Mustang Survival, as do the most discriminating clients in the world - families.

In 1967, Mustang Survival introduced the first Floater Coat and created a new wave in marine safety gear. Since then Mustang Survival has received one of the most prestigious certifications for quality in design and manufacturing: ISO 9001, the highest level of international recognition.

Mustang Survival apparel not only remains unsurpassed in flotation and hypothermia protection, it also provides superior mobility and durability. On that, you can bet your life.

Uncompromising Products Don't Happen by Accident- They Happen by Design

Skilled, long term factory employees aren't the only ones putting together Mustang gear. They also boast a world-class Research Division made up of engineers and scientists. Together, this group provides a powerful combination of knowledge, experience, and innovation to find integrated solutions for people facing hazardous environments.

What's more, to ensure the success of their garments, they test them against numerous and significant hazards. If they can overcome their challenges, they can surely overcome nature's.

Survival In Cold Water?
It Takes Figuring Out

How long a person can survive in cold water largely depends on both the water's temperature and the thermal insulation of the victim's protective clothing.

To create the most effective protection attainable, Mustang begins by evaluating the clothing's Immersed Clo values which depict the level of thermal insulation a garment provides. Simply speaking, we determine the rate at which heat is lost from the body, as well as the difference in temperature between the skin and water. From the immersed Clo values, predictions can be made of the rate at which a person's body temperature will drop in cold water.

For examples of Mustang Survival products, their immersed Clo values and the corresponding estimation of survival time in calm water (assuming a thin person with a 5.5°F drop in core temperature), refer to the graphs.

Protection Inside and Out

When fabric is exposed to ultraviolet rays, over time it loses its tinsel strength and comes apart. Mustang's outer shell fabric is made of a 210 Denier, 6,6 high tenacity yarn.

Not only is this material durable, it meets the Canadian Coast Guard 300-hour weathering test and exceeds US Coast Guard requirements for ultra violet degradation. Therefore, Mustang apparel can be worn for extended periods in all types of conditions.

What's more, Mustang Survival apparel is lined with their innovative AirSoft™ polyvinylchloride (PVC) closed cell foam. By trapping air pockets, this foam provides their garments with buoyancy and insulation.

In fact, all Mustang garments exceed the minimum buoyancy requirements for Coast Guard approval. This allows for a loss of buoyancy over time due to compression of the foam. What's more, the liner is glued at the seams making it impenetrable by wind or water.

So Comfortable, You Can Live In It

Though Mustang apparel is designed to save lives, everyday comfort is never compromised. Each Mustang garment is engineered with their MustMove Mobility System™ to ensure that the user has full maneuverability. Wrist and waist bands don't even ride up.

The ultimate survival apparel carries three key attributes: exceptional hypothermia and environment protection, as well as superior flotation performance.
