Common Concerns Answered
Is the flotation foam bulky?
The integrated flotation foam is designed for optimal safety and warmth, which may contribute to a slightly more substantial feel than a non-flotation jacket. However, Mustang Survival prioritizes mobility through features like the M-Tech Comfort System.
Is this coat expensive?
The Catalyst Flotation Coat represents a significant investment due to its dual functionality as a high-performance flotation device and a robust marine garment. This premium pricing reflects the advanced technology, safety certifications, and integrated PFD compared to standard rain gear.
Do I need a separate PFD?
No, the primary benefit of the Catalyst Flotation Coat is its integrated PFD, which meets US and Canadian safety standards, eliminating the need for a separate flotation device during demanding activities.
