Industrial Flotation, Visibility and Mobility for Work Near Water
The Mustang Survival MV1254 T1 industrial mesh flotation vest is an orange work PFD designed for marine and industrial crews who need flotation without giving up upper-body mobility. Large armholes, mesh shoulders and side adjustments support movement and ventilation, while 32 square inches of SOLAS reflective tape improves visibility across the front and back.
This vest provides 69 N (15.5 lb) of buoyancy and includes two large front pockets plus a rear pass-through for compatibility with an appropriate fall-arrest harness. Approval changes by size, so select the required size and verify the approval label before purchase or use.

Selection and Safety Note
Select personal flotation equipment according to applicable regulations, employer requirements, worksite hazards, water conditions and the planned rescue method. This product is not a Type I offshore life jacket. Confirm fit over all work clothing and compatible equipment, inspect the vest before each use, and remove damaged, contaminated or altered flotation equipment from service. A harness pass-through does not make the vest a fall-arrest device; the harness and complete fall-protection system must be selected and used separately.
FAQ - Mustang MV1254 T1 Industrial Mesh Vest
Is every Mustang MV1254 T1 vest USCG Type III approved?
No. Mustang currently lists S/M, L/XL and 2XL/3XL as Harmonized Level 70 approved in the United States and Canada. The 4XL/5XL size maintains UL1123 USCG Type III approval and is offered in the United States only.
How much buoyancy does the MV1254 T1 provide?
Mustang Survival lists the vest at 69 N, or 15.5 lb, of buoyancy. Confirm that this flotation level and the selected size meet the applicable requirements for the worksite and activity.
What sizes are available?
The listed dual-size options are S/M, L/XL, 2XL/3XL and 4XL/5XL. Approval varies within this size range, so check the selected option and product label carefully.
Can this flotation vest be used with a fall-arrest harness?
Mustang lists a rear pass-through for fall-arrest harness compatibility. Compatibility still depends on the complete harness, connectors, attachment point, clothing layers and employer-approved system. The flotation vest itself is not a fall-arrest device.
Does the vest include reflective material?
Yes. The vest has 32 square inches of SOLAS reflective tape across the front and back. This feature does not establish an ANSI/ISEA high-visibility apparel classification.
Does the MV1254 T1 have storage pockets?
Yes. It includes two large front pockets secured with hook-and-loop closures for small work items. Do not overload the pockets or store items that could interfere with flotation, fit or rescue.
Is this a Type I offshore life jacket?
No. This industrial mesh flotation vest should not be represented as a Type I offshore life jacket. Select the PFD type or level required for the vessel, water conditions, work activity and governing regulations.
