The evolution of the legendary Chinook PFD continues. Combining our Orbit Fit System™, an artfully shaped back flotation panel, and the extensive pocket configuration that’s kept the Chinook a best-seller for over ten years, anglers won't find a better-fitting, higher-performing jacket.

  • The Orbit Fit System layers multiple pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam cut to precise specifications to create a unique, flexible, pre-curved shape that effortlessly conforms to your body.
  • The NRS Every Body Design™ philosophy combines innovative technologies that reimagine how a PFD fits and performs, eliminating the need for men’s and women’s specific models.
  • Graded Sizing takes into account the appropriate amount of flotation needed for individual body types, resulting in a better-fitting, more comfortable life jacket for all.
  • Back flotation panel conforms to an angler's back, ensuring a flush fit.
  • A mesh lower back offers added ventilation on warm days.
  • YKK® zipper entry plus adjustments on shoulders, side and waist secure the life jacket and provide a custom fit.
  • Two large clamshell pockets, sized for fly and tackle boxes, with internal organization.
  • One exterior pocket on the angler's right side offers easily accessible storage.
  • Tool holder pocket for quick access to pliers or line cutters with hook-and-loop closure and an integrated rod holder for hands-free tasks.
  • Sustainable construction combines a recycled ripstop nylon shell with a recycled nylon inner that protects PVC-free Ethafoam shims.
  • Silicone-coated inner waistband helps hold the PFD in place when swimming.
  • Features 3M® reflective accents, shoulder strap keepers, and multiple attachment points on front and back for knife, lights, strobes, etc.
