Why choose the elite pfd

Adapt technology

Exclusive ADAPT Technology optimizes airway protection and turning. Bladder lobes turn wearers face-up, baffle barriers deflect waves, and a wide head pillow maintains ideal face angle.

ALL DAY COMFORT

A redesigned neckline and chassis reduce pressure points for a better fit. Lightweight and off the neck, it’s so comfortable, you’ll forget you’re wearing it.

Rated and reviewed

Wes David about the Elite 120

"The fit, comfort, and ease of maneuverability while wearing the Elite 120 PFD was not a hindrance in any way, and truthfully, in less than 10 minutes, I had completely forgotten that I was even wearing the PFD.”

Greg Nicoll about the Elite 190

“The new Mustang Elite 190 PFD is a great fitting essential piece of gear when I am on the water. It’s lightness and comfort make for ease of wearing so there is no excuse not to be safe.”

Randy Vance about the Elite 120

"Not sure what the secret is, but the collar stays off the neck and lays down along the top of my shoulders. The lapels rest easily along my chest. No other inflatable life jacket has proven as comfortable as this one.”

David Webb about the Elite 120

"But the safest PFD is the one you wear—and this one is designed to be worn. Taking it off never once occurred to me, mostly because, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I really did forget it was on."
