Your Go-To PFD—Now Even Better

We know how much you’ve trusted our HIT and Elite inflatable PFDs over the years—and with good reason. These vests have long been industry leaders in comfort, safety, and performance. But at Mustang Survival, we don’t believe in standing still. We believe in pushing boundaries. That’s why we’ve refreshed and reimagined some of our most trusted inflatable PFDs—preserving what you rely on for comfort and safety, while enhancing their performance. 

Why the Change? 

We’ve listened to your feedback—weekend boaters, offshore racers, and seasoned sailors alike—and used it to guide the evolution of our inflatable lineup. Here’s what we focused on: 

• More inclusive fit across a wider range of body types 
• Improved comfort in the neck and shoulders for longer wear 
• Greater versatility, including meeting the Offshore Special Regulations for organized racing 
• A cleaner, simpler user experience—without sacrificing performance 

What’s New (and Better) 

These next-generation PFDs come packed with thoughtful upgrades designed to make your time on the water safer and more comfortable: 

• Ergonomic Fit: Redesigned to sit off the back of your neck, distributing weight across the shoulders for less strain and more comfort. 
• New Bladder Design: Engineered from the ground up to enhance in-water performance, with better turning to keep airways clear and reduce spray inhalation. 
• Streamlined Hardware: If you need a tether point, the new soft loop is lower-profile and quieter than traditional D-rings. 
• Smarter Details: A tidy, stowable pull handle won’t snag or get in your way—and the simplified back panel improves breathability and reduces bulk, especially while seated. 

Find Your New Match 

Not sure which updated PFD replaces your tried-and-true model? Here’s a quick breakdown: 

If you loved the EP 38, check out the Atlas DLX 190. It’s built for offshore performance, meets racing regulations, and improves fit and ease of use. 

If you wore the HIT with D-rings, the Atlas DLX 190 still has you covered—with a new soft tether loop that’s more streamlined and less bulky. 

If you had the standard HIT, you’ll love the Elite 190 or Elite 120—still using the trusted hydrostatic inflator but with better wearability, a lower-profile design and improved neck comfort. 

If you rocked the Elite 28, the Elite 120 is your new go-to. It keeps the sleek profile but offers a more breathable, flexible fit with less neck irritation.

Whether you’re heading out for a casual day on the water or gearing up for offshore adventure, our updated inflatable PFD lineup is designed to move with you—more comfortably, more intuitively, and with the same life-saving reliability you’ve always counted on. If you’re unsure which model is right for you, our team is always here to help you find the perfect fit. Different name, better experience—same commitment to keeping you safe out there.
