Adventure anglers know that the best life jacket is one you’ll wear. With a slim-fitting medium profile, front-zip design and modern features, the Zander PFD highlights simplicity, convenience and freedom of movement. Whether you’re jigging, casting, spinning, trolling, paddling or landing the big one, do it safely in the Zander.
- 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.
- Designed for angler convenience with two large, zippered clamshell pockets compartmentalized to organize fishing gear.
- Two additional external pockets expand to accommodate various gear and include an external tool holster to give easy access to pliers or line cutters.
- Multiple attachment points throughout, including a MOLLE section on the chest, let anglers customize their accessory configurations.
- 3M® reflective accents increase visibility in low light conditions.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Zander PFD. We encourage you to refer to the sizing chart for this life jacket before placing an order.
