Description:
Built for long days on open water. The NRS Odyssey PFD (NRS item 40124.02) carries a radio or GPS, a knife and lights close at hand with five pockets and ten attachment points. Extensive 3M SOLAS reflective accents and bright color choices help you stand out on the water. It suits sea kayakers and open-water crews; for Type V rescue vests, see our rescue PFDs and life jackets.
Features
- Orbit Fit System: layered pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam are cut to a flexible, pre-curved shape that follows your body, so the jacket is comfortable without over-tightening.
- Every Body Design: one model is built to fit men and women, so there is no need for separate gender-specific versions.
- Graded sizing: flotation and the foam platform change with each size range, so each wearer gets an amount of flotation matched to their body size.
- Radio-ready storage: two large zippered pockets plus two dual-entry expandable pockets sized for a radio or GPS.
- Knife options: an open sleeve pocket for a folding knife and a hidden lash tab for a fixed blade.
- Ten attachment points: keep a knife, lights and strobe close.
- 3M SOLAS reflective accents: improve visibility in low light.
- YKK zipper entry and six adjustments: with balanced front and back flotation for a slim, medium-profile fit.
