The design features ADAPT Technology that incorporates four main elements: uniquely shaped bladder lobes that turn the wearer face-up, baffle barriers to deflect incoming waves, an integrated pillow for optimal head support and dogleg design for in water comfort and stability. An integrated sprayhood can be easily pulled over the head and secured with two loops to protect against secondary drowning.

The Atlas 190 DLX is designed for all-day use with a sleek, ergonomic fit that ensures comfort during extended wear. When inflated, it produces 190N of buoyancy.

Mustang Survival Head of Marketing Anja Mueller said: “It’s a tremendous honour to be recognized among 199 other groundbreaking innovations that enhance our world in meaningful ways. We believe that the best life jacket is the one you wear, and by prioritizing comfort with safety, we have more opportunity to protect everyone on the water.”

The Atlas Pro DLX is one of 200 inventions recognized by the TIME Best Invention of 2024 awards. Recently, the Atlas Pro DLX also received the Red Dot Award in 2024 and a special mention at the 2023 DAME Design Awards.
