9,000 RNLI launches show scale of sea rescues in 2025
New RNLI figures show how quickly a routine day by the water can turn serious, with lifeboat crews launching more…

The product is the company’s first personal flotation device (PFD) approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The Minimalist Belt Pack is a manual flotation device that provides 70N of buoyancy in a pillow-style bladder when deployed by an inflation cord. As the name suggests, the belt pack has a discrete minimalist design made for inshore paddles and to be used by skilled swimmers and anglers looking for a little extra safety support.

Nigel Parkes, International Managing Director, said: ‘The ISO approval for the Minimalist Belt Pack is a significant milestone for Mustang Survival. The company has always been committed to providing the highest level of safety to its customers, and the ISO certification ensures that the product has been tested and meets the highest safety standards, giving customers peace of mind when they are out on the water.’
