Overview
The Mustang Survival Public Safety Water Rescue Hybrid PFD is a low-profile flotation device designed specifically for rescue swimmers and public safety professionals who require maximum mobility in the water. Combining foam flotation with manually inflatable buoyancy, this hybrid design provides a streamlined fit that minimizes bulk while delivering additional flotation when needed.
Constructed from durable 500D nylon and 1.5mm neoprene, the PFD features front and rear MOLLE attachment systems for equipment customization, an accessible oral inflation/deflation valve, and storage for a spare CO₂ cylinder. Current production models feature an all-black design, replacing the earlier versions with neon yellow accents.
