Mustang
suits (or equivalent exposure suit) are required for all personnel during

The USCG has some extra mustang suits and a small number
of float coats and work vests in sizes S-XL. If you
need a size outside of this range, you need to bring
your own. If you intend to do a lot of deck work, we
strongly recommend you bring your own - our extra equipment
is functional, but it is well worn, and we cannot guarantee
we will have one that fits you or meets your expectations.
