Introduction
Mustang Survival [1] is a privately owned
Canadian corporation founded in 1967 by Irving Davies. Mustang Survival's early
success was related to the design and manufacture of flotation and hypothermia
protective clothing. Over the last decade, the corporation has expanded into
the areas of active cooling, anti-gravity protection, and the integration of
protective clothing and equipment.
Mustang Survival is rather unique in the
clothing industry, in that, it has research and development (R&D) capabilities.
In addition to assisting the corporation' industrial, recreational, and
military product lines, R&D is contracted externally. This paper details
some of the more recent advances in clothing technology made by Mustang
Survival and provides their relative pros and cons.
