NRS Chinook OS Lifejacket (PFD)

NRS Chinook OS Lifejacket (PFD)

The NRS Chinook OS Lifejacket (PFD) is a purpose-built fishing PFD designed for kayak anglers who take their adventures into open water. With enhanced visibility features, flexible flotation, and an angler-focused pocket layout, it provides the comfort, mobility, and organization needed for offshore kayak fishing.

The innovative Orbit Fit System improves overall comfort and range of motion while helping prevent over-tightening. Precisely cut foam layers create a flexible, pre-curved shape that naturally conforms to your body, while graded sizing provides the appropriate amount of flotation for different body types and helps deliver a secure, comfortable fit.

Designed specifically for kayak fishing, the Chinook OS features a low-profile back flotation panel with lower mesh that sits comfortably against your kayak seatback while providing ventilation on warm days. A full-length front zipper and multiple adjustment points allow you to customize the fit, while the silicone-coated inner waistband helps keep the PFD securely positioned when swimming.

The Chinook OS is equipped with practical storage and attachment options for essential fishing and safety gear. Side-entry pockets, expandable dual-zipper pockets, a tool holder, and an integrated rod holder keep frequently used equipment within easy reach. Multiple attachment points accommodate knives, lights, strobes, GPS units, VHF radios, and other kayak fishing accessories.

Built for demanding open-water environments, the NRS Chinook OS combines a recycled ripstop nylon shell with a recycled nylon inner and PVC-free Ethafoam shims. Extensive 3M reflective accents improve visibility, while the PFD is dual certified for use in both the United States and Canada. It is also made without intentionally added PFAS and is backed by a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
