NRS - Chinook Fishing PFD *UPDATED*

Ten years as a best-seller doesn't happen by accident. The NRS Chinook Fishing PFD has earned its reputation on the water, and this updated version raises the bar with a smarter fit system and sustainability credentials to match its performance.

The Orbit Fit System is the centrepiece here. Multiple pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam are cut to precise specs and layered to create a pre-curved, flexible shape that moves with your body rather than fighting it. The back flotation panel is shaped specifically to sit flush against an angler's back, and a mesh lower back panel adds ventilation on warmer days. NRS's Every Body Design philosophy means one model fits all body types well, with Graded Sizing dialling in the right amount of flotation for individual builds. A silicone-coated inner waistband keeps the PFD from riding up in the water, and shoulder, side, and waist adjustments plus a YKK zipper let you fine-tune the fit over whatever you're wearing.

For kayak anglers and river fishing enthusiasts, the pocket layout is where the Chinook really stands out. Two large clamshell pockets sized for fly boxes and tackle, an easily accessible exterior pocket on the right side, and a dedicated tool holder pocket with integrated rod holder cover everything you need within reach. The shell is built from recycled ripstop nylon with a recycled nylon inner protecting PVC-free Ethafoam shims, so the environmental story is genuine. Multiple attachment points front and back, shoulder strap keepers, and 3M reflective accents round out a PFD that's as practical as it is thoughtfully built.
