This is the Mustang MJ6214 high visibility flotation bomber jacket in size Large. It is rated USCG Type III and ANSI Class 2, and closed-cell foam gives it both flotation and insulation in the water. Neoprene wrist closures help in foul weather, the front pockets are fleece-lined, and an internal waist belt stops the jacket riding up. Reflective tape gives ANSI 107-2004 Class 3 compliance. The hood is a separate attachment.

Our take

Neoprene wrist closures and an internal waist belt that reduces ride-up point to a jacket meant for working on deck in foul weather. The Type III rating and closed-cell foam give flotation and in-water insulation, but the hood is a separate attachment.

From our buying guide

US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.

Check before you buy:

  • The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
  • You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
  • If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
