Description:
A trimmer Chinook for people who want the comfort with less storage. The NRS Wrangler PFD (NRS item 40146.01) keeps the Chinook's contoured back panel and mesh lower back but trims the storage to two large drop-down pockets. MOLLE-style chest webbing and multiple attachment points let anglers and boat crews set it up their own way. See all rescue PFDs and life jackets for rescue-rated models.
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.
- Contoured back with mesh lower back: sits flush and vents heat on warm days.
- Two large drop-down pockets: compartmentalized for on-person gear.
- MOLLE-style chest webbing: plus front and back attachment points for lights, strobes and a knife.
- YKK zipper entry: with shoulder, side and waist adjustments, 3M reflective accents and a silicone-coated inner waistband.
