Was everything I had hoped for in a PFD! I admit that there's been a long gap between when I purchased my NRS Rapid Rescuer PFD (Red) and when I used it for the first time (yesterday) on the American River near Sacramento due to a number of life reasons. But wow was I impressed with using it rather than my typical water skiing PFD. Way more practical and comfortable for the raft float! And I noticed all the emergency personnel on the river wearing the same PFD. Very happy with my purchase.

Good fit and great buoyancy. Solid anchor points for gear. Overall good quality. Would be nice if it had grab handle high near neck line.

Excellent rescue jacket which is comfortable and easy to maneuver in and row with. Being a zippered jacket iit s especially good for older river guides who present with shoulder issues who can no longer effectively use PFD jackets that pull over the guides head and shoulders.
