Product Details

Stand up paddlers and other water sports enthusiasts looking for an alternative to traditional life jackets will love the NRS Zephyr Self-Inflating PFD. It's lightweight, easy to wear and inflates instantly to float you high.
  • This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 15.5 lbs. of flotation and meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements. (See Note below.)
  • The compact, adjustable ripstop nylon waist pack stays out of your way for SUP or surfing.
  • A simple tug on the cord instantly inflates the PFD with pressurized C02 gas.
  • A 16 gram CO2 cartridge comes with the Zephyr. It will simply need to be screwed in to initially arm the PFD.
  • NRS CO2 Re-Arming Kit, Item # 40035.01, is sold separately. It's a good idea to have extra re-arming kits on hand.
  • Unlike many other self-inflating life jackets, the flotation chamber stays around your waist.
  • Rotate the belt until the chamber faces forward, pull the inflation cord and secure the attachment strap over your head.
  • A manual mouth valve backs up the CO2-powered inflator.
  • The bag's clear window lets you check the inflation system for readiness.
  • This PFD carries the US Coast Guard Certification, through testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Note: This PFD is certified by the US Coast Guard as a Type V PFD. However, it meets Coast Guard requirements for Type III PFDs when it is worn. In other words, you have to have the pouch secured around your waist for it to qualify as a required flotation device.
