What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wore the Elite 190 on a windy sailing race and barely noticed it was there. It's comfortable and secure, and it's super reassuring knowing the Hammar hydrostatic system will only activate when it matters."When we head offshore or push into unpredictable waters, the Elite 190 Inflatable PFD keeps us confident and focused. Built with Mustang Survival's cutting-edge bladder design and rugged Cordura construction, this vest balances serious safety features with all-day comfort. Hydrostatic inflation technology ensures it won't accidentally deploy in rain, spray, or humidity-only when fully submerged. The ergonomically contoured fit keeps the Elite 190 comfortably off the neck and shoulders, even over foul weather gear. ADAPT Technology gives strong turning performance, helping us float face-up while offering self-rescue mobility. The Elite 190 is our first choice for serious offshore cruising, regattas, and big-water fishing adventures.
