NRS Rescue PFDs & Life Jackets

NRS rescue PFDs are US Coast Guard Type V vests with a quick-release rescue belt and an internal harness. The Rapid Rescuer and MOLLE-equipped Rapid Responder carry 22 lbs of flotation, and the Vector SAR has a lower profile for work on land and water.

NRS says a rescue harness takes training and practice to use safely, so take a swiftwater class first. For boat crews and the public, this category also has Type III life jackets, youth PFDs, leg straps and placards. Add a throw bag and knife, or shop all NRS gear.
