NRS Public Safety Rapid Responder PFD Red

Advanced Protection for Rescue Scenarios
Engineered for rescue professionals operating in hazardous environments, this Type V PFD provides functional adaptability and certified flotation in fast-moving water. The shell is made from 400-denier ripstop nylon, offering durability against abrasion and puncture risks often encountered during swiftwater deployments. Its high-profile flotation design delivers 95 Newtons of buoyancy, meeting US Coast Guard Type V standards through independent testing by Underwriters Laboratories.

Streamlined Structure for Movement and Fit
Mobility and ergonomic fit are enhanced through a four-panel front layout, allowing for upper body flexibility without compromising support. A single thin foam panel in the back reduces bulk for easier positioning in boats and tight environments. The front zip closure ensures a quick, secure fit and is backed by buckle straps for added safety under tension. A wide adjustment range supports chest sizes from 32 to 56 inches, with eight points of adjustment at the shoulders, waist, and sides for personalized fit control.

Critical Gear Integration and Tether Support
A built-in quick-release rescue belt with an anodized aluminum ring enables live bait and tether-based extraction methods. The interior harness system provides stability during high-force rescues, while webbing loops at the base allow for connection of leg straps when needed. Two lash tabs on the front serve as mounting points for strobes, knives, or other compact gear. These load-bearing features make it easier to deploy essential tools without restricting movement.

Identification and Visibility Features
Reflective safety elements meet SOLAS standards, helping increase visibility in low-light or nighttime operations. The jacket supports clear agency identification with two 4 x 4" hook-and-loop panels on the chest and a 10.5 x 4" strip across the upper back for placards or unit tags. These features allow responders to organize and identify personnel quickly in multi-agency deployments or fast-evolving field environments.
