Mustang Survival is an internationally recognised brand with more than 56 years of experience designing and manufacturing safety marine gear for on, above and below the water. Fondly dubbed ‘Mustang,’ they provide equipment to the Navy Seals, police, coastguard, military, tugboat operators, ocean racers, professional athletes, recreational paddlers and anglers, and even Hollywood actors. In the late 1960s, John Wayne personally telephoned the head office in Vancouver, demanding ‘one of those floating coats’, since a friend of his had one and he’d always admired it. Floater coats, while still in everyday use, have evolved into a complete range of life-saving solutions, and now the time has come for Mustang Survival’s new ISO-approved Atlas 190 Pro Sensor lifejacket to make its UK debut.
