The days are stretching, the water’s opening up, and the season is finally here. To mark it, Mustang Survival is offering one reader a premium kit bundle built for the long days ahead, worth over £1,000 – designed for adventure, comfort, and the kind of quiet confidence that only comes from gear you trust.

At the centre of the prize is the award-winning ATLAS 190 life jacket, the first to feature Mustang’s new ADAPT Technology – a precision-fit system that moves with the wearer rather than against them. The result is a life jacket so unobtrusive you forget it’s there, right up until the moment you don’t.

Paired with it is the Meris Jacket, recently tested by Motor Boat & Yachting as one of the lightest offshore jackets in its class. Built to flex with changing conditions – squalls in the morning, sun by lunch, a sharper wind on the way back in – it’s outerwear that earns its place in the bag whether you’re crossing the Solent or further afield.

Mustang Survival has spent decades outfitting the people who treat the water as a workplace: Coast Guard teams, search-and-rescue crews, and, most recently, the Artemis rescue team, now equipped with Mustang life jackets as standard. That professional pedigree is the foundation of everything in the consumer range — the same engineering, the same testing, the same margin for error, which is to say very little.

What sets this bundle apart from the usual seasonal giveaway is the thinking behind it. This isn’t kit for the once-a-summer charterer or the weekend pottering crowd. It’s designed for people who plan their year around tides and forecasts, who know the difference a good jacket makes on hour six, and who understand that comfort and safety aren’t a trade-off – they’re the same conversation.

From first-light departures to the slow drift home under a late sun, this is gear built for the people who don’t just visit the water, but feel at home on it.
