The evolution of a best-selling classic, the NRS Chinook PFD, is the gold standard in fishing life jackets. Redesigned with cutting-edge comfort and performance technologies, it’s built for anglers who demand a perfect fit, smart storage, and all-day wearability on rivers, lakes, or coastal waters.
