NRS Zen Rescue

The NRS Zen is a low profile rescue jacket for high end whitewater situations. It has all the necessary features for guides and experienced paddlers in swiftwater rescue situations. This PFD is jam-packed with features which make it not just a rescue capable vest, but also a really comfortable PFD to paddle steep creeks and make high pressure moves.

The low cut design is based on the popular NRS Ninja PFD, prioritising freedom of movement. The floating front section moves with your body, and the padded sides give you impact protection without inhibiting your rotation.

On the front of the Zen is an enormous clam-shell style pocket, which opens as a platform and fits everything you might possibly need on the water. Behind this is a hand warmer, with another small, zipped pocket for quick access to your kit.

The Zen has six points of adjustment to ensure a snug fit, as well as a quick release rescue harness with a releasable carabiner attachment loop for rescues. Just above this is a quick release attachment point for a carabiner, perfect for easy access in a rescue scenario.

If you’re looking for a top quality whitewater PFD, the Zen should be high on your list of considerations.
