Hydrostatic Inflatable PFDs
See the video
More information |
Used for over 10 years in Europe by Coast Guards and recreational boaters alike, the recently enhanced hydrostatic inflator developed by CM Hammar is exclusively available in North America from Mustang Survival.
Hydrostatic pressure is applied to objects submerged in water. The hydrostatic inflator needs only to be submerged 4 inches (10 cm) for the hydrostatic pressure to open a pressure valve releasing a firing mechanism, automatically inflating the PFD.
Low Maintenance
No inflator maintenance required for five years, unless fired.
Reliable Inflation
Inflates under hydrostatic pressure, the PFD will not inflate prematurely due to rain, humidity or water contact (the PFD can be inflated manually by pulling the activation cord).
Safety Inspection Window
Easily view the inflator replacement date and inflator status through the safety inspection window - green indicates ready for use.

Tactical Life Preserver for Law Enforcement
Officers
Auto Hydrostatic Inflation
MD3196 Now available
Flotation for Body Armor Users
The Mustang Survival MD3196 is a compact life preserver that has been designed
specifically for easy integration with body armor and tactical vests that use
a MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing system. The low-profile
design provides flotation capability for body armor users, with minimal bulk
or interference. The advanced Hydrostatic
Inflation System makes the MD3196 an effective and low-maintenance solution.
Quick Integration and Easy Repacking A three-point attachment system provides
quick integration to a MOLLE style vest. SecureZIP™ closure withstands rigorous
activity and is easy to repack.
Reliable Inflation The Hydrostatic
Inflation System will not inflate prematurely due to rain, humidity or wind-driven
sea spray. The inflatable cell achieves full inflation within seconds of immersion,
or with a simple pull of the beaded handle. An oral inflation tube located on
the left lobe provides backup inflation, if necessary.
Low Maintenance No inflator maintenance is required for five years, unless inflated.
Manual Conversion Cap The Hydrostatic Inflation System uses an automatic inflator
that can be converted to a manual only system. The manual conversion cap can
be installed on the water inlet port preventing the automatic operation. This
manual conversion cap provides for optimal mission planning and allows the operator
to select the inflation capability (manual or automatic) prior to the mission.
In-water Performance Tests with the life preserver attached to a typical body
armor vest successfully demonstrated the ability of the LP to selfright and float
the wearer.
Durable Protection Designed for the Law Enforcement professional offering durable
flotation protection for operators in marine environments.
Two Options for Wear Can be attached to a body armor vest or worn as a standalone
life preserver using the chest belt/crotch strap assembly (MA3090).
Adult Universal size - for persons at least 16 years of age and 80 lb or more,
with chest size
30" - 52" (76 cm - 132 cm)
