This is the Mustang Survival Classic Bomber flotation jacket in orange, size medium, fitted to a 38 to 42 inch chest. It carries USCG Type III approval and gives 69 N of buoyancy, listed as 15.5 lb. Closed-cell foam provides both flotation and insulation in the water to delay hypothermia. The T1 version adds SOLAS reflective tape at the chest and both wrists, and an internal waist belt keeps the jacket from riding up. It weighs 3.2 lb.
Our take
The closed-cell foam does two jobs here, giving 69 N of flotation and insulation that delays hypothermia in the water, so the jacket works as warm outerwear and as a USCG Type III device at once.
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.
