+1-763-263-9835 for Quote

Mustang Survival's MSV973 HK is a special configuration of the MSV973 HT configured for rotary wing operators, with peace time high visibility LP collar.

Designed specifically for pilots and aircrew to be worn over flight suits, the Mustang Survival MSV973 HK is an inflatable flotation cell integrated into a survival vest. Providing a full 37 lbs. of buoyancy, the inflatable cell - available with automatic or manual inflation - is comprised of two independent chambers, separated by an internal membrane, with single point inflation. This provides for an orally inflated reserve chamber in the event that the primary chamber becomes damaged.

All Mustang Survival aircrew life preserver / survival vests include integrated harness lifting straps, signal whistle, SOLAS reflective tape, buddy tether line and integrated waist buckle as standard features.

Materials

The high frequency welded construction of the inflatable cell utilizes polyurethane coated nylon fabric which exceeds the requirements of both MIL-C-83489 and AMS 3272/1. The protective LP cover is constructed from fire resistant 6 oz. Nomex® aramid fabric. This vest has a wide range of adjustability for mission role and requirement changes.

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.
