HIT Inflatable Work Vest Life Jacket

Mustang Survival designed their HIT™ Inflatable Work Life Jacket with enhanced safety measures and minimal maintenance to meet the challenges of demanding users!

Mustang Survival’s Work HIT™ Inflatable life jacket offers a comfortable, low-profile design that can be worn in hot, humid conditions. Maintenance free for five years, the HIT™ inflatable will turn unconscious wearers face up and go unnoticed while you perform rigorous activities thanks to its lightweight design. Strength tested at 50MPH and built with a durable PU-coated nylon shell, this life jacket was built for severe work conditions.

Automatic Inflatable

Designed to automatically inflate when submerged in 4 inches or more of water, their Hydrostatic Inflator Technology will not prematurely inflate due to rain, spray, or humidity. Designed for use in severe weather, the HIT™ offers reliable, low maintenance inflation. The built-in, arming status window shows green when your inflator is properly armed and ready to use. You will want to visually inspect your life jacket for leaks, rips, holes, or tears between uses and examine the indicator window ensuring it is green and not red. If red, the mechanism requires service and you will need to rearm your life jacket. Rearm with a Mustang Survival Auto-Hydrostatic 33g Rearming Kit C (sold separately). In case of emergency or malfunction, manually inflate this life jacket by pulling the yellow lanyard tab or by blowing in the oral inflation tube.

Comfort

Enhanced mobility and reduced heat stress define the comfort features of this life jacket allowing your crew to work in hot and humid conditions efficiently. Inflatable life jackets are designed to be lightweight and low profile offering maximum mobility. This feature minimizes bulk so it fits well over your rash guard or offshore jacket. As Mustang Survival’s most popular inflatable, the HIT™ can also be comfortably worn over your clothes. With its freedom of movement, you can wear this life jacket for extended periods of time without noticing it. A neoprene collar adds extra comfort for long days of wear. With its single buckle design, it is easy to don on and off as well.

Construction

Constructed from durable PU-coated nylon, this Inflatable life jacket was built for use in all weather conditions and offers improved puncture and abrasion resistance. Featuring a patented SecureZip™ closure system around the bladder to ensure the life jacket will not inflate during rigorous activity, but will open effortlessly when submerged in water. The backflap can be silkscreened for agency identification.
