The exclusive Membrane Inflatable Technology (MIT) and high-tenacity nylon fabric take lightweight and durability to new heights. Efficiently transition between automatic and manual inflation modes on the go with a simple change of the inflator caps; a handy zippered hip pocket ensures all your options are close at hand. The automatic mode deploys when the water-soluble inflator dissolves, while the manual mode activates only when you pull the inflation handle. With its 1-fold design, repacking the bladder after deployment is a snap. The convenient inflator window and access flap provide quick and easy monitoring—there's no excuse to skip safety checks. The front entry buckle keeps the vest secure, and its clever design promptly turns most wearers face up in the water. Unleashing 28 lb of buoyancy upon deployment, the MIT 100 ensures your safety won't be compromised. Confidently explore inland, inshore, and coastal waters.
