Flotation

At Mustang Survival keeping afloat is a science.

Many people are aware of the danger of drowning. At Mustang Survival we’ve made a science out of finding solutions to protect against it.

Our teams of scientists, engineers, and designers have studied the complex dynamics that occur when the human body is subjected to variable wave actions and variable sea states. In fact, we recreate these environmental conditions to test our products and we often do the tests ourselves.

Variables of human size, shape and body proportion are considered when designing products that are intended for use by a diverse population. We also consider the effects of other clothing and equipment on flotation.

Our expertise regarding the physics of human flotation, combined with an in-depth knowledge of the user's activities enables Mustang Survival to develop solutions that integrate seamlessly into the lives and the work of our customers.

Numerous regulatory bodies, that work to ensure your personal safety, strictly regulate flotation devices. Mustang Survival works closely with these agencies and has been a major contributor in setting safety standards.
