    Want to upgrade your PFD or add a EPIRB?

    Go to the 4th page and Troy has posted up some great pricing on the same items I have on my Mustang MV5600 jacket.

    I am going to get a EPIRB. Is there really a major difference in this jacket vs the normal Mustang life jacket?

    Not sure what you mean by "normal Mustang life jacket"?

    The Accel 100 is a type III. This vest is a type II. It is designed for larger bodies of water and I believe more apt and ensuring your head stays above water if knock unconcious. The type III jackets is pretty much what everyone wears but seriously since more people are taking interest because of current events, it’s been noted that they may not be the most suitable for what we enjoy and love doing.

    If anything, I’d like to get this vest for when running the boat and an inflatable for when fishing in colder weather.

    Incorrect. The MV5600 is a Type III. I will state that I have tested it myself and I can't float in any position but face up.
