                              Features:
                              The MSD900's 3-layer system is
                              functionally integrated to provide
                              superior protection, comfort and
                              durability previously unseen in an
                              immersion worksuit. Mustang's
                              patented "Breathability System"
                              enhances comfort and reduces heat
                              stress during long and strenuous
                              operations. The neoprene wrist and
                              adjustable neck seals (patent
                              pending) provide a level of comfort
                              previously unachieved in a suit that
                              provides this degree of protection
                              and performance. The highly visible
                              outer shell is constructed of
                              210-denier nylon and reinforced in
                              high abrasion areas with even more
                              rugged 500-denier Cordura nylon
                              panels. A snap down inflatable head
                              pillow makes the MSD900
                              compatible with a variety of marine
                              survival equipment. With the
                              MSD900's modular system, users
                              will realize reduced life-cycle
                              maintenance costs as components
                              can be repaired or replaced
                              individually.

At Tfest Poulsbo, MOB retrieval was demonstrated. Charles Volum, a listee, was the volunteer MOB. Mustang Survival loaned a new type of survival immersion suit. All who saw it were impressed. A relatively thin and very flexible outer shell, with multiple inner shells of fabric (not drysuit neoprene) made it easy to get into and easy to work in, in or out of the water. Charles was able to go in 'like a blimp' and stay that way, or 'burp' the suit so the water made it conform to his body. It covered up so all there was was a slit for his eyes. He was able to get into the LifeSling yoke without help. The suit comes in a small packet. Richard
