Description

The NRS Vector PFD - Black 2024 from NRS is a high‑performance Type V rescue life jacket built for whitewater paddlers, guides and swiftwater rescue professionals. Combining advanced rescue functionality with exceptional comfort and mobility, the Vector is designed to help paddlers perform confidently in demanding river environments.

Building on the legacy of the Zen rescue vest and the mobility of the Ninja PFD platform, the Vector introduces a fully featured yet lightweight rescue design that delivers dependable flotation and professional safety features.

Constructed with recycled ripstop nylon and PVC‑free flotation foam, the Vector supports environmentally responsible gear choices without compromising durability. SOLAS reflective accents, multiple attachment points and aluminium hardware enhance safety, strength and reliability on the river.

Storage and gear organisation are designed for efficiency during rescue scenarios. The vest includes a large compartmentalised clamshell pocket with internal D‑ring, allowing paddlers to store and organise essential safety equipment.
