Description
Industrial Flotation Vest with Radio Pocket and SOLAS Reflective Tape
Crew on vessels, docks, and offshore platforms need a PFD they can wear all day without losing radio access. The Mustang Survival flotation vest MV3119RP holds a VHF radio in an adjustable chest pocket that allows transmission without removal. Two Velcro front pockets store tools and documents. This two pocket flotation vest carries TC Marine approval under CAN/CGSB 65.11 with SOLAS reflective tape.
Two-Pocket Flotation Vest Features
- Adjustable radio pocket on the chest holds a VHF or two-way radio and allows transmission without removing the device. The flotation vest with radio pocket puts the radio within reach during deck work.
- Two roomy front pockets with Velcro closures store tools, documents, and personal items. Velcro stays closed during movement and immersion.
- SOLAS reflective tape on the shoulders provides visibility in low light, fog, and storm conditions.
- Large armholes and adjustable side straps allow unrestricted arm movement for lifting, pulling, and climbing. Side straps cinch the Mustang Survival flotation vest across sizes S through XXL.

How the Radio Pocket Works
- Slide a VHF or two-way radio into the adjustable chest pocket. The flotation vest with radio pocket fits handheld VHF units and larger industrial radios.
- Key the microphone and transmit without removing the radio from the vest. Both hands stay free for lines, equipment, and cargo.
- The pocket holds the radio in place during movement and immersion. A standard industrial flotation vest without this pocket forces the worker to clip the radio to a belt underneath the PFD.
TC Marine Certification for Canadian Workplaces
- The Mustang Survival flotation vest MV3119RP is a TC approved PFD vest under CAN/CGSB 65.11, the national standard for personal flotation devices.
- CAN/CGSB 65.11 requires a minimum buoyancy of 69 Newtons (15.5 lbs) for adult PFDs over 41 kg body weight.
- Foam buoyancy meets this standard without CO2 cartridges, inflation mechanisms, or arming. It works the moment a wearer enters the water.
- For workplaces that need an industrial PFD Canada regulations recognize, CAN/CGSB 65.11 approval satisfies Transport Canada and provincial OHS regulators.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a PFD and a life jacket?
A PFD (personal flotation device) keeps a conscious person afloat using foam buoyancy. A life jacket turns an unconscious person face-up in water. The MV3119RP is a TC approved PFD vest that provides buoyancy for a conscious wearer but will not turn an unconscious person face-up.
Do you need a PFD for commercial fishing in Canada?
Yes. Canadian workplace safety regulations require employers to provide PFDs where a drowning risk exists. The MV3119RP carries TC Marine approval under CAN/CGSB 65.11, which is the standard for a commercial fishing PFD accepted by Transport Canada and provincial OHS regulators.
What is the difference between a flotation vest and a flotation coat?
A flotation vest covers the torso without sleeves for full arm movement during physical work. A flotation coat adds insulated sleeves that cover the arms and delay hypothermia. The MV3119RP vest suits active work with radio access. The Classic Flotation Coat MC1506 suits cold water operations needing arm coverage.
What does TC approved PFD mean?
TC approved means Transport Canada has certified the device under CAN/CGSB 65.11, the national standard for personal flotation devices. This standard requires a minimum buoyancy of 69 Newtons (15.5 lbs) for adults. A TC approved PFD vest meets Canadian workplace safety requirements for marine operations.
How does the MV3119RP compare to the Industrial Mesh Vest?
The MV3119RP has a dedicated radio pocket and two Velcro front pockets. The Industrial Mesh Vest MV1255 T1 has mesh shoulders for ventilation and a high waist that clears tool belts. Both carry TC Marine approval. Choose the MV3119RP for radio access, the MV1255 T1 for tool belt clearance.
