In Canada, a life jacket or PFD is a legal requirement for every paddleboarder. However, many riders find traditional vests too hot or restrictive for active paddling. That is where the Mustang Survival Inflatable Belt comes in.
Manual Inflation: Control When You Need It
The Mustang belt packs we carry at The Drop are typically Manual Inflation (M.I.T.). This means the PFD will not inflate just because it gets wet or you fall in; you simply pull the handle to deploy the internal lung. This prevents accidental inflation during a quick swim while ensuring you have high-buoyancy flotation the moment you need it.
Ergonomic and Unobtrusive
Mustang Survival has spent decades engineering gear for professional mariners and elite athletes. Their SUP belts feature:
- M.I.T. Technology: Membrane Inflatable Technology reduces weight and creates a more flexible fit.
- Easy Re-arming: After use, the belt can be easily deflated and re-armed with a fresh CO2 cylinder, making it a long-term investment in your safety.
- Storage Pockets: Many models include small zippered compartments for your keys, whistle, or a small snack.
Legal Compliance on Canadian Waters
While these belts are incredibly low-profile, they are fully CGA (Coast Guard Approved) when worn. This ensures you are compliant with local water safety regulations across Canada. It is the perfect solution for the paddler who wants to stay safe on the lake without the "life jacket tan lines" or restricted shoulder movement.
