Manual Inflatable PFD

MD3085 GS

DISCONTINUED

Mustang Survival's MD3085 Deluxe Inflatable PFD combines the advanced safety of inflatable technology with product enhancements such as comfort improvement features and a safety inspection window to easily tell users if the inflator is ready for use. The Velcro® closure makes it easy to wear and maintain while closing to the outside to reduce chafing around the neck and chest; the neoprene Comfort Collar™ eliminates neck irritation.

Made for sailors and power boaters alike, the MD3085 sports an manual inflation system (the user must pull the activation cord to inflate the PFD) and is light weight and close fitting to ensure it doesn't interfere with regular activities.

The Deluxe Manual Inflatable PFD is US Coast Guard Approved Type V PFD for use when worn on uninspected commercial vessels less than 40 feet in length not carrying passengers for hire as a substitute for a Type II or Type III PFD when used in accordance with the owner's manual.

MD3085 manually activated inflatable Personal Flotation Device is inflated by pulling the inflation cord that hangs from the PFD at waist height. The MD3085 will not inflate when it gets wet or is immersed in water. Manually activated PFD's are a great choice for activities such as paddling, wade fishing and swimming where there is a reasonable chance you will end up in the water and are confident you will be able to pull the inflation cord when you need it. They are also ideal for situations where control over PFD inflation is desired.

** For government agencies, this product is manufactured in a TAA compliant location.

MD3085 has been discontinued and replaced with MD2981 Manual Inflatable PFD.

Formula to Determine Buoyancy

If a man weighs 200 pounds on land, he only weighs 10 pounds in the water.

80% of the human body is water. Water in the body has no weight in the water.

200 pounds x 80% = 160 pounds
200 pounds – 160 pounds = 40 pounds

The human body is 15% fat, fat is lighter than water.

200 pounds x 15% = 30 pounds
40 pounds – 30 pounds = 10 pounds

A 200 pound person only weighs 10 pounds in the water.

A U.S.C.G. approved Type V vest is mandated to have 17.5 pounds of buoyancy.

If a man weighs 350 pounds on land, he only weighs:

80% of the human body is water. Water in the body has no weight in the water.

350 x 80% = 280 pounds
350 pounds – 280 pounds = 70 pounds

The human body is 15% fat, fat is lighter than water.

350 pounds x 15% = 52.5 pounds
70 pounds – 52.5 pounds = 17.5 pounds

A 350 pound person weighs 17.5 pounds in the water.
