MUSTANG SURVIVAL ELITE 120 and 190
Mustang Survival recently announced two highly-anticipated additions to their inflatable PFD range: the Elite 120 and Elite 190. These inflatable PFDs build on the revolutionary design of the award-winning Atlas 190 DLX Life Jacket and introduce the same cutting-edge ADAPT bladder technology in lighter, versatile profiles. Designed for all-day wear, the ergonomic chassis of the Elite series sits off the neck, which is ideal for anglers, high-speed boaters, and serious coastal sailors. Both models use the Hammar MA1 inflator featuring Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT), exclusive to Mustang Survival’s North American-approved products. Designed to activate only when submerged below 4-feet of water, HIT ensures that humidity, rain, or spray won’t cause accidental inflation and remains maintenance-free for up to 5 years.

STARPATH USB BAROMETER
At sea or at home, the Starpath USB Baro is an ideal way to keep track of atmospheric pressure, as well as your COG, SOG, and position. Its user-friendly software interface surpasses the functionality of electronic marine barometers and the output is in NMEA format, so it can also be read directly by any navigation program including in OpenCPN, qtVlm, Expedition, Coastal Explorer, TimeZero, and more. You can also run the device in Starpath’s Marine Barograph app for Mac or PC, which also lets you broadcast the pressure (and your position if your computer knows it) to other nearby devices. The USB Baro is accurate to better than ± 1.5 mb over the full range of ocean or terrestrial pressures at standard temperatures, and generally better than that at elevations below 2,000 feet. If more precisely accurate pressure is known, the device can be calibrated by the user.
