The Mustang MV4600 is strength-rated to 100mph meaning it has been designed and tested to hold up to the rigors of the most demanding watersports such as jet-skiing, wakeboarding, and water-skiing. With smart styling and cutaway armholes for maximum range of motion, the MV4600 also delivers the superior flotation performance synonymous with Mustang Survival.
ITS A WATER SKI JACKET.......NOT A LIFELINE

Pretty good haul for me. Can you just post up some good pictures? Seems like a pretty logical choice for us guys not racing.

Well into the 90's.... and I realize what you are going to say... I'm exploring options right now as I feel there has to be another vest suitable for our type of boating. What I really need to do is buy four of these Mustangs and two Lifelines but I don't have 1200 to spend on jackets right now. Run the Mustangs when there are four of us in the boat since it'll be a pig anyway.

Actually, the mustang style vest are not a ski vest.They are a type of S.A.R vest that are built to be worn daily.That is the reason that they are a little heavier material than most, and the seams are double and triple stitched.Zippers and belts are stronger and better than most recreation vest.The speed of 100mph, I believe is a measure of strength of the structure,witch may or may not work for you.Also there are many different brands of "mustang"vest on the market.Some seem much better than others.There are a couple that i have looked at and been very impressed with the quality of fabric,belting, and stitching.We all must take responsibility for are own safety.There is little doubt that the mustangs are much better than the things most of us have worn at some time,and most likely better than some of the old "certified" Life lines, filled with plastic bags of kapok.Just because it is not certified does not mean it wont work well for you.But the buyer needs to know quality when you see it! You are betting your life, and maybe the life of a loved one on your decision.

it's real simple guys. this jackets rating means when "IT" hits the water at 100 mph it will stay in one piece and float you. What do you wear for a relaxed day of boating ? This is far better than a plain jacket. If your going to push the limits of your boat I suggest a life line. It does allot more than "FLOAT" you.
