Mustang HIT™ Inflatable Work Vest - Orange - Automatic/Manual

The Mustang HIT™ Inflatable Work Vest in orange represents the gold standard for mariners and water workers who demand lightweight, reliable flotation without sacrificing mobility. Engineered by Mustang Survival—the trusted name in commercial and recreational water safety—this automatic/manual inflatable vest is purpose-built for constant-wear situations where traditional bulky PFDs create fatigue and restrict movement. Whether you're running a charter boat, working offshore, or spending extended hours on deck, the HIT™ delivers the protection you need in the unforgiving marine environment.

This work-rated vest combines dual-activation capability—both automatic and manual inflation—ensuring deployment in the event of immersion or rapid water entry. The automatic hydrostatic mechanism triggers on contact with water, while manual activation via inflation tube gives you override control in unpredictable conditions. At just 2.25 pounds in deflated form, the HIT™ remains inconspicuous during normal operations, inflating to full buoyancy only when needed. The high-visibility orange colorway meets Coast Guard and maritime safety standards, making wearer location easier during rescue operations while complying with USCG commercial vessel requirements.

Professional deckhands, commercial fishermen, and industrial water workers gravitate toward the HIT™ for its ability to perform during hot, humid conditions without waterlogging or degradation. The slim profile allows unrestricted overhead reach and climbing, critical when working rigging or navigating confined spaces aboard vessels. Field-proven by commercial operators worldwide, this vest integrates seamlessly with harness systems and work clothing. The compact dimensions (12 x 2 x 22 inches) ensure it fits under most boat seating or storage compartments, making it ideal for backup flotation on charter vessels, tugboats, and commercial fishing operations where deck space is premium.
