The NRS Matik Inflatable PFD offers the low-profile convenience of an inflatable with the familiar feel of a traditional life vest. A great alternative to waist-belt inflatables, the Matik folds into a compact horse-collar style that stays out of your way while stand-up paddling, fishing, or wading.
When deflated, the vest secures with a waist buckle and a single adjustment point for a snug fit. In the event of a swim, simply pull the red tab to trigger the pressurized CO₂ and inflate the integrated bladder instantly.
⚠️ U.S. Coast Guard Notice: This PFD is certified as a Type V life jacket. It meets Type III requirements only when worn. The deflated collar must be on your body to qualify as a required flotation device.
