NRS - Vector PFD - 2026

The Vector PFD with RECCO® technology combines groundbreaking advances in fit and construction with modern rescue technology to create a better-fitting, better-performing life jacket for whitewater safety and rescue. Starting with NRS Orbit Fit™ technology and Every Body Design™, we engineered every feature and component to enhance comfort, usability and performance on the water. Two RECCO reflectors revolutionize searchability and wearer safety on even the most remote missions.
