Compact Tactical Life Preserver

Mustang Survival’s Compact Tactical Life Preserver (MD3196) is a lightweight, low-profile inflatable PFD designed for military and tactical professionals operating in demanding environments. Featuring Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT), it automatically inflates when submerged in water but resists accidental activation due to rain or spray. Providing 35 lb of buoyancy, the MD3196 offers superior flotation while maintaining full range of motion and equipment compatibility. Its durable, streamlined design integrates seamlessly with body armor or load-bearing equipment, making it an essential safety tool for high-risk operations on or near water.

FEATURES:

• 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.
• Optional Manual Conversion Cap: The Hydrostatic Inflation System uses an automatic inflator that can be converted to a manual only system. The optional manual conversion cap (MA7219) 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.
