NRS Vector PFD

The NRS Vector PFD is a fully featured rescue vest engineered for whitewater paddlers and rescue professionals who demand superior comfort and mobility. Built on proven design heritage, the Vector combines lightweight construction with advanced rescue capabilities. The innovative Orbit Fit System layers precision-cut closed-cell foam to create a flexible, pre-curved shape that conforms to your body without over-tightening.

Wrap-around foam panels with AirMesh lining and wide, padded straps maximize protection and comfort during river work and extended hike-ins. Rescue-focused features include a 4 cm quick-release belt with aluminum ring, continuous interconnected webbing for secure harness support, and strategically placed attachment points for cowtail systems, whistles, knives and lights.

The compartmentalized clamshell pocket organizes essential gear, while dual-entry zippered pockets provide fast access to flip lines or other equipment. Additional details: hand warmer pocket with 4-way stretch lining, SOLAS reflective accents for low-light visibility, silicone-coated waistband for secure fit when swimming, and strap garages to minimize snag points. Side-entry design with aluminum buckle adjustments on shoulders, sides and waist ensures customizable fit. Sustainable construction uses recycled ripstop nylon shell and recycled nylon lining protecting PVC-free Ethafoam.

The NRS Every Body Design™ philosophy eliminates the need for gender-specific models, with graded sizing that accounts for individual body types.
