The Mustang Survival Elite 28 is a hydrostatic inflatable PFD in the Bass Competition colorway, here in red. It is a front-entry, automatic inflatable vest. Its 3D chassis is designed to reduce drag, so it is shaped for wearing while the boat is moving fast. The maker supplies an owner's manual for it.
Our take
The 3D chassis is meant to cut drag, so this vest is aimed at being worn on a fast boat rather than left in a locker. It is front-entry and automatic, which means it goes on like a jacket and the inflation is not left to the wearer.
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.
