NRS Shenook PFD

The high-back design is specifically engineered to sit above the seat back of most kayaks and rafts. This prevents the life jacket from pushing up against your chin or interfering with your seat, allowing you to paddle and cast without the vest bunching up.

Yes. Unlike unisex vests, the Shenook features articulated foam panels that are pre-molded to accommodate the female bust. This creates a more natural, secure fit that doesn't feel restrictive or flattened across the chest.

The vest includes five pockets, and the primary front pockets are sized specifically to hold small-to-medium tackle boxes. While they won't fit large, full-sized utility boxes, they are perfect for organizing lures, hooks, and essential terminal tackle.

No. The mesh lower-back panel is designed for ventilation and comfort while seated, but it does not affect the US Coast Guard Type III safety rating or the 16.5 lbs of flotation provided by the vest. It is fully compliant for safety while keeping you cooler on hot days.

The Shenook is highly adjustable, featuring four side straps and two shoulder adjustments. This allows you to fine-tune the fit to your specific torso length and body shape, ensuring the vest stays secure without shifting while you move.

The vest is equipped with a dedicated rod holder loop, a knife lash tab for quick access to safety tools, and a strobe holder loop for added visibility. These integrated features keep your hands free while you are managing your gear or paddling.
