Kayak Fishing Lifejacket (PFD) for Anglers

The evolution of our best-selling life jacket, the NRS Chinook Fishing PFD, is heavily influenced by the feedback we receive from anglers around the world. We take their reviews to heart, constantly refining the design to make the Chinook even more effective and safer for on-water adventures.

Classified as a Type III, medium profile life jacket, the Chinook provides a generous 16.5 pounds of flotation. Its zippered front entry allows for quick and easy donning, while six adjustment points ensure a customized fit for each individual wearer.

Two large clamshell pockets, sized to accommodate tackle boxes, feature updated internal organization based on the suggestions and experiences of the anglers who use them. The PlushFit foam and high-back design of the Chinook combine to create an exceptionally comfortable vest, perfect for any type of raft or kayak seat.

For added ventilation on warm days, the Chinook incorporates a mesh lower-back panel. A single, exterior pocket on the right side offers easily accessible storage, while a tool holder pocket, secured with a hook-and-loop fastener, provides quick access to pliers, line cutters, or other fishing tools.

The Chinook is equipped with a rod holder, a strobe attachment point, reflective accents, and a knife lash tab, ensuring that anglers have the necessary features and accessories to make the most of their time on the water.

In summary, the evolution of the NRS Chinook Fishing PFD is a testament to our commitment to listening to the needs and experiences of anglers around the world. By incorporating their feedback, we have created a life jacket that not only delivers uncompromising safety but also enhances the overall fishing experience with its customizable features and exceptional comfort.
