Mustang Minimalist Admiral Grey Inflatable Belt Pack

The Mustang Survival Minimalist Inflatable Belt Pack is a manual belt pack PFD in Admiral Gray, rated to 88 lb, sized universal adult.

A belt pack is worn around the waist rather than over the shoulders, and it is deployed by pulling the bladder out and over the head after entering the water. That suits competent swimmers on inshore paddles rather than general boating flotation, since it does nothing until the wearer acts.

The trade is that people wear it. A belt pack is unobtrusive enough to be worn paddling in warm weather where a vest would be taken off and stowed. It is manual only, so it requires a conscious wearer, and Admiral Gray is the discreet colorway rather than a high-visibility one. Explore more life jackets and PFDs.
