Mustang’s new life jacket takes a hammering
Mustang Survival has launched the Atlas 190 DLX Hammar Life Jacket across North America and the UK. The ISO-approved Atlas 190 DLX Hammar life jacket builds on the success of the Atlas Pro Sensor model, released in the UK in 2024. Designed for offshore sailing and boating, the new Mustang life jacket includes a Hammar MA1 hydrostatic inflator that resists unintended activation from spray or humidity.
With 42 lbs of buoyancy, the Atlas 190 DLX uses ADAPT Technology for enhanced airway protection and stability. The re-engineered bladder includes chin baffles, a wide head pillow, and a dogleg design for in-water comfort. Additional safety features include an integrated sprayhood, SOLAS-approved light, and AIS/PLB compatibility.
The Mustang Atlas platform has received several awards, including TIME’s Best Invention, a Red Dot Award, and recognition from the DAME Design Awards and Miami Innovation Awards.
Retail pricing is $369.99 USD / $449.99 CAD / £260 GBP, in black and red-black, with a universal adult fit.
Also released is the updated Meris Collection, Mustang Survival’s foul weather gear line. Made with PFAS-free Marine Spec BP fabric, the jacket and salopette are designed for prolonged use in challenging offshore and coastal conditions.
Key upgrades include an extended size range (X-Small to 2XL), refined fit for layering, customisable adjustment points, and removable external knee pads. Prices are $699.99 USD / £700 GBP for the jacket and $649.99 USD / £575 GBP for the salopette.
Both products are now available online and at select retailers.
