I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

M.I.T. 100 MA Inflatable Personal Flotation Device

Description

A low-profile and slim inflatable PFD. Foam is great for keeping your beer cold and your fragile package safe, but it's not really the most advanced way to stay afloat. An inflatable vest like the Mustang Survival M.I.T. 100 Manual-Activation PFD is far slimmer, lighter, and more breathable, but still has all the flotation power of a traditional foam vest.

If you feel yourself going over the side, a quick tug on the handle will inflate the M.I.T.'s internal membrane, giving you 26lbs of buoyancy without interfering with your ability to swim or move freely. The 500D Cordura fabric is ultra-tough, ensuring the integrity of the membrane, and the clear window lets you check the status of the inflator so you're never caught unprepared.

A single buckled webbing strap keeps the vest in place, and its simple one-fold design makes it easy to pack up and take with you every time you hit the water.

Product Details:

  • 500D Cordura fabric: Ultra-tough material for durability
  • Manual pull-cord backup inflator: Quick inflation in emergency situations
  • Easy-inspection window: Clear window for checking inflator status
