A modern take on a classic design, the NRS Ambient PFD combines simplicity and comfort with safety and protection. With the convenience of a front-zip entry and the freedom to swim, paddle and splash, you won't find a more comfortable recreational jacket than the Ambient.
- The Orbit Fit System™ layers multiple pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam cut to precise specifications to create a unique, flexible, pre-curved shape that effortlessly conforms to your body.
- The NRS Every Body Design™ philosophy combines innovative technologies that reimagine how a PFD fits and performs, eliminating the need for men’s and women’s specific models.
- Graded Sizing takes into account the appropriate amount of flotation needed for individual body types resulting in a better-fitting, more comfortable life jacket for all.
- Two expandable, zippered pockets hold on-water essentials.
- Features 3M® reflective accents, shoulder strap keepers, and four attachment points on front and back for knife, lights, strobes, etc.
- Equal distribution of the flotation between the front and the back creates the optimal slim-fit, medium-profile jacket.
- YKK® zipper entry plus adjustments on shoulders, side and waist secure the life jacket and provide a custom fit.
- Our innovative Orbit Fit System enhances overall comfort, increases range of motion and eliminates the desire to over-tighten.
- Sustainable construction combines a recycled ripstop nylon shell with a recycled nylon inner that protects PVC-free EPE foam shims.
- 4-way stretch double-knit polyester lining is comfortable against the skin and helps manage moisture.
- Silicone-coated inner waistband helps hold the PFD in place when swimming.
- Compatible with the NRS Swig Hydration Pack for all-day on-water hydration.
Note: Graded Sizing changes the flotation value and foam platform for the NRS Ambient PFD. We encourage you to refer to the sizing chart for this life jacket before placing an order.
