The new Elite 120 builds off of the already incredible Elite 28 platform we've all come to know and love. Boating safety is my passion and this life jacket will no doubt keep everyone safe on the water. This life jacket is the most comfortable life jacket I've ever worn. To be honest, there's no reason you should ever take it off when you're on the water - It's that comfortable and that important to wear too!

We had the opportunity to use the Elite 120 during a photo shoot for a line of tournament Bass Boats and can confirm that Mustang Survival has improved upon an already stellar design. Our anglers fought over who got to wear the new Elite 120 because they appreciated the form fitting counters that remained completely stable at speeds exceeding 60 mph. Its light weight made it almost imperceptible and easy to wear while fishing bait balls, before the feeding frenzy stopped.

As the editor at large of Boating Magazine, I produce many boat review videos and wear a PFD while doing them. Typically, I wear one at the opening and closing and during running shots, but take them off during the walkthrough because they seem confining and uncomfortable. With this one however, the fit of this jacket makes it easy to forget its on--and I often do, shooting the entire video, even while at rest or anchor or in port, wearing it. Not sure what the secret is, but the collar stays off the neck and lays down along the top of my shoulders. The lapels rest easily along my chest. No other inflatable life jacket has proven as comfortable as this one.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the first release Elite 120 vests and I can say this is by far the best and most comfortable inflatable jacket I have ever worn. I fish for my profession, I'm on the water almost everyday and this is one of the most critical parts of my boat for not only wearing all day in comfort but knowing I am safe. Thanks again Mustang!!

Whether you're fishing offshore, patrolling the harbor, or exploring the coastline, the Mustang Survival Elite Series offers a low-profile fit that won’t hold you back. Engineered for freedom of movement, these PFDs deliver serious protection without the bulk—so you stay focused and agile.
Equipped with the Hammar MA1 automatic inflator, the Mustang Elite 120 life vest uses hydrostatic technology to prevent accidental inflation from rain, spray, or humidity.
Every detail of the Elite Series is built for comfort. The lightweight 3D chassis conforms to your body and distributes weight evenly, reducing fatigue during long hours on the water. Paired with a soft back panel and durable outer shell, these PFDs are ready to go the distance.
Lightweight, Reliable Protection for Anglers and Boaters
The Elite 120 PFD Life Jacket offers superior protection without compromising on comfort or mobility. Designed for active users like anglers, sailors, and boaters, this lightweight inflatable life jacket features an ergonomic chassis that ensures a secure fit even at high speeds. The low-profile design sits off the neck, improving comfort for long days on the water. Its mesh back enhances breathability, making it perfect for hot weather or intense activity. With the Mustang Survival Elite 120 PFD, you get peace of mind and safety, without the bulk of traditional life vests.
Automatic Inflation with Advanced Technology
Equipped with the Hammar MA1 automatic inflator, the Mustang Elite 120 life vest uses hydrostatic technology to prevent accidental inflation from rain, spray, or humidity. This automatic inflatable PFD is designed to inflate only when submerged, ensuring that you're always protected at the right moment. The easy-to-read single-point indicator turns green when the device is ready and red after activation, making maintenance straightforward. The inflator requires replacement only after deployment or expiration, ensuring low maintenance.
Enhanced Safety Features and Comfort
With 28 lbs of buoyancy (120N), this USCG approved life jacket meets TC/USCG Type III / Level 100 standards for inshore and coastal adventures. The shorter chassis design prevents ride-up on all body types, and the engine kill switch loop adds an extra layer of safety. Tested by anglers and fast boat users, the Mustang Survival Elite 120 PFD provides confidence and comfort, whether you're navigating rough waters or enjoying a day of fishing.
