REVIEWS
- RWRobert W.Verified BuyerReviewingNRS Vapor Lifejacket (PFD)I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoThin and lite
The contour fit is the best !
I use a waterproof phone case for the car key.
The new contour fit is excellent. Very trim in all the right places.
(There is just enough room in the shoulder strap garage for a small ish, tethered, car key)
- GGGordon G.Verified BuyerReviewingNRS Vapor Kayak Lifejacket (PFD) (Closeout)Rated 3 out of 5 stars1 year agoSeems durable
Well I haven't fell out of my boat yet but I do use it. Seems tough & durable though. Came with my kayak so I was grateful it was included. However I do find it hard to sit comfortably in my kayak in it & I find I slip down quite a bit when I wear it to where I'm almost lying down.
- MMikeVerified BuyerReviewingReboxed NRS Vapor Kayak Lifejacket (PFD)I recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoNice but very basic
For the money this is a pretty good option for recreational paddlers. At the $50 price point these blow away the big box store offerings of ski type lifejackets that just aren't suited to kayaking.
I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs, the L/XL size fits me great and would easily fit someone bigger. Most important things first, it's comfortable enough to actually wear and I didn't find it uncomfortable with my kayak's seat. Oh yeah, it also floats me reasonably well. That's probably worth mentioning in a review for a PFD.
The sleek appearance comes at a cost though, with a total lack of any attachment points or pockets of any kind. I don't normally feel the need to carry a ton of **** with me on the river but the ability to maybe stash my phone in a front pocket is something I've gotten used to with other paddling vests. Other minor annoyances, no good way to deal with the excessively long shoulder strap ends, and at least a small D ring or loop attachment point for a light or whistle would have been nice to see.
Overall, a perfectly functional paddling jacket at a nice price point if you get it on sale. Not sure I'd recommend it at full price. If you want a storage pocket NRS sells this same jacket with one as the Ion model

It was very comfortable out paddling.
- JRJames R.Verified BuyerReviewingNRS Vapor Kayak Lifejacket (PFD) (Closeout)I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agogreat design
great design and love the green color! quick release side buckets are very nice for getting off and on. Vest doesn't ride up when you end up in the drink! smooth front allows for no hangups when climbing back in surfski.
