Great video . Bought a new NRS pike fishing last fall but have yet to buy a correct PFD for the boat. This looks like what I may need Thanks

@Paddleheads 2 ай бұрын

Thanks a bunch! I personally find the high backs most comfortable, on kayaks like yours with the high back seats. It's a great quality PFD - mine is still holding strong after 3 years of frequent use, and is very comfortable.

Heh Ben , great informative vid . You know it’s difficult to keep up with ever changing gear and technology. My kayak is an absolute yard sale of fishing essentials, and absolutely chaos when l haul in the monsters . Just yesterday l ended up with a treble in the back of my ankle, the other treble in the mouth of a pissed off largie . I need to simplify, organize, and increase my safety on the water. This vest looks comfortable, not too bulky, has lots of options…. Great choice for a vid ! Thanks Ben

One thing I have noticed with all these PFDs is that people are mainly getting them for storage rather than the main reason why getting a lifejacket. Does it float? probably does, however, what if I am unconcious and hit the water face down, will it turn me around face up? That's an awesome video, but also lets try to include a review of it's floating capabilities and if it will actually save your life.

@Paddleheads 8 ай бұрын

That would make a great video, agreed, but that wasn’t the purpose of this video. This was simply to offer inspiration to others trying to consider what to carry in their life jackets. It will float but it won’t turn you over, which is the difference between a proper life jacket and a PFD. PFD’s aren’t expected to roll you over, they’re simply a personal flotation device. PFDs are not life jackets. Thanks for asking though. We will certainly consider providing that information through a future video.

Your whistle should be off the shoulder strap. If you have ever flipped a kayak in a class 4 rapid your find out why.

Hi what size Chinook did you buy? The XS/M. Or the next size up?

@Paddleheads 3 ай бұрын

I got the XS/M and it fits me perfect - even with layers underneath. To get an idea of my size; some large shirts are a little tight on me, but most extra large shirts are baggy.

@@Paddleheads thanks so much. I just ordered a XS/M for $89.99 on close out sale since the new 2024 model is out and just felt weird getting the XS/M as I too usually wear a large shirt.

what size do yo recommend for 5.7 180lb for winter fishing with a heavy jacket?

@Paddleheads 9 ай бұрын

Well with the PFD's, there are only two different sizes for NRS. XS-M and L-XXL and the only difference between them is the length of straps. I'd certainly recommend the L-XXL, so you know it will fit over everything. Important to wear the PFD overtop the coat and keep in mind, the coat will affect the buoyancy slightly, especially if you're in the water for an extended period of time.
