Designed specifically for pilots and aircrew to be worn over flight suits, the MSV971 is an inflatable cell integrated into a survival vest. Providing a full 37 lbs of buoyancy, the inflatable cell - available in manual inflation - is comprised of two independent chambers separated by a fully integrated floating baffle system. This provides for an orally inflated reserve chamber in the event that the primary chamber becomes damaged.
Each vest is lightweight - approximately 3 lbs unloaded - and contains specific pocket requirements for stowage of survival items such as rations or lights. It is made with a Nomex fire resistant cover and mesh for high durability. As well, each vest is integrated with a lifting harness for over water rescue by helicopter, and contains a buddy line and SOLAS emergency whistle.
MATERIALS
The high frequency welded construction of the inflatable cell utilizes polyurethane coated nylon fabric which exceeds the requirements of both MIL-C-83489 and AMS 3272/1. The protective LP cover is constructed from fire resistant 6 oz Nomex® aramid fabric.
