  • 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.

  • 4-way stretch double-knit polyester lining is comfortable against the skin and helps manage moisture.
  • Equal distribution of the flotation between the front and the back creates the optimal slim-fit, medium-profile jacket.
  • YKK® zipper entry plus adjustments on shoulders, side and waist secure the life jacket and provide a custom fit.
