MTI co-owner Lily Colby goes over the cool points on the new Neptune inflatable PFD.
The new Neptune inflatable incorporates smart safety and comfort features that will make it easy to wear. Starting with comfort features, the mesh yolk design keeps the PFD in place and keeps the wearer cool. Daisey chain tabs and D-rings allow the angler to attach gear. A pocket in the front holds an included safety whistle and will fit more gear or a smart phone. Reflective strips make it easy to see. The Neptune comes in two colors: bright orange or Real Tree Max 4 Camo.
On the safety side, the Neptune auto inflates using a baton-style CO2 cartridge. That means the cartridge pops into the inflation mechanism instead of screwing in making it easier to replace and more accurate to show whether it is armed through a clear plastic window. The autoinflate mechanism works when water flows into the PFD pocket. It won’t inflate when splashed or in the rain.
The Neptune is a Class III PFD approved by the Coast Guard so it is just as effective as a foam PFD. This year MTI is celebrating their 25th year of keeping people safe on the water with a great line of new PFDs. The Neptune is our favorite. Pick up an MTI’s Neptune for $159.99.
