A modern take on a classic design, the NRS Ambient PFD combines simplicity and comfort with safety and protection. With a front-zip entry and the freedom to swim, paddle, and splash, it's one of the most comfortable recreational life jackets on the water.
The Orbit Fit System layers multiple pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam cut to precise specifications, creating a flexible, pre-curved shape that effortlessly conforms to your body. Graded Sizing accounts for the appropriate flotation needed for individual body types, resulting in a better-fitting, more comfortable life jacket for all.
