NRS Chinook PFD

NRS Chinook PFD: the fishing jacket you can count on

The NRS Chinook PFD is the evolution of the legendary fishing life jacket that has been the best-selling fishing PFD in North America and Europe for more than a decade. The new version keeps everything that made the original popular (roomy pockets, a fishing rod loop, solid adjustment) and adds Orbit Fit System and Every Body Design technologies. Certified to CE EN ISO 12402-5, this jacket suits kayak fishing, paddling and motorboats alike.

Orbit Fit System ir Every Body Design
PVC-free Ethafoam flotation panels, curved to the body's contour, stay comfortable even through the longest fishing sessions. NRS Every Body Design means one pattern fits men and women, so you don't have to choose between two different lines. The front YKK zip together with 4 side and 2 shoulder adjustment points lets you fit the jacket precisely to any body type.

Pockets and fishing features
Two large clamshell pockets with internal organization hold fly and lure boxes, and you can reach the contents by opening the pocket fully, like a book. On the right side is an external access pocket for items you need quickly, and below it a tool holder pocket with a Velcro flap, keeping pliers or line cutters always at hand. The fishing rod loop lets you slot in a rod and keep your hands free.

Ventilation and materials
The back flotation panel conforms to the body, and the mesh lower section lets air circulate on hot days, which matters during long fishing sessions. The outer material is recycled 400D ripstop nylon with a recycled nylon lining: abrasion resistant and kind to the environment. 3M reflectives, shoulder strap keepers and several attachment points add safety and functionality on the water.
