Best whitewater PFD

This is the industry standard PFD for drift boat and raft guides on whitewater in Western Oregon.

Great PFD

I'm using this as a spare PFD for private river trips. It's been used twice by two different people because they found this jacket more comfortable.

NRS Big Water V PFD

Fits nice and has easy adjustment Primary use is for kayaking on my local lakes and use it to float around a while while the water is nice out. Don't notice it while paddling as well

NRS Big Water V PFD

Fits great and has a ton of adjustability. Mainly got it for kayaking safety while out on the water, and also use it to float down stream when I want to take a swim. A ton of floatation too which is nice!

Very glad to find an adult-sized PFD with a flotation collar, which I needed, and in this color. I do wish it had a lash tab and pocket. I end up clipping my whistle to the strap of a buckle. But would like to be able to attach a radio securely and without having it poke my face. And perhaps fit a safety knife in a pocket.

The perfect big water jacket.

Im 6'6" and 375lbs. I wear a size 4xl shirt and 48" waist pants. This fits great with room to shrink or room to grow. This fits great. Would buy again. I use to be a river guide on most of the western rivers. This is by far the favorite jacket I have owned. My belly is covered.

Love these life jackets

Great Jacket for big water. I have been looking for this type of jacket for a long time. Just learned that NRS sells them. Couldn't find this type anywhere else. GREAT SERVICE from the NRS staff.

Saving Lives!!!

Great floatation vest. I have a lot of faith that if something went wrong in the boat, everyone on board will be safe and a float.

V PFD

Fits well - gave my husband more confidence in the river in big waves rather than the III PFD.

Best life jacket I've ever owned

This will fit pretty much everyone I'm 6' about 350lbs 58" chest and it could fit someone bigger than me fairly easy 10/10

Great jackets

Great product and easy to adapt to size. I bought 4 for my family and they all fit like a glove. One minor problem is that the material can catch in the snap closures and make them a bit difficult to close. That's the only reason for losing one star. NRS has been great to work with and seems to value its customers.

pfd fit

My son is a fairly big guy and this Universal pfd is too large. When all the straps are snugged as tight as possible, still a bit too large.
