NRS Nora PFD

The thin-back design removes bulk from the rear of the vest, which prevents it from pushing against the seat back of your kayak or canoe. This allows you to sit upright comfortably without the PFD riding up or interfering with your posture.

The Nora is a Level 70 buoyancy aid, which is designed for general paddling, rowing, and fishing in calm to moderate waters. It is USCG approved, but it is not intended for high-impact whitewater or offshore use where a higher buoyancy rating is required.

Yes, the articulated chest panels are shaped to accommodate the female form, reducing the flattening effect often found in unisex vests. This creates a more natural, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict your range of motion while paddling.

The two front zippered pockets are sized to hold small essentials like a multi-tool, snacks, or a compact waterproof case for your keys. However, they may not accommodate larger modern smartphones, so you should plan to store those in a separate dry bag.

The Nora features six adjustment points, allowing you to fine-tune the fit at the shoulders, sides, and waist. Start by loosening all straps, putting the vest on, and then tightening from the bottom up to ensure it feels secure but not restrictive.
