WHO WE ARE:

Mustang Survival has been solving real problems for real heroes on the water, and delivering confidence for over 50 years.

Headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, the Mustang Survival Waterlife Studio is a stone's throw from the water's edge.

We are surrounded by fresh water, a big ocean, and all the weather the Pacific Northwest can throw at us.

Our HQ houses a lab to test human physiology and material properties, a product creation shop to craft product concepts, a testing pool to evaluate new ideas (not to mention we are right beside the mighty Fraser River and Pacific Ocean for real-world testing), and a full manufacturing center to carefully craft our marine gear.

We are a collective group of people so obsessed with every detail that we control every facet of the product experience and challenge the status quo of how marine gear is designed and built.
