Product Details

Through decades of boating and selling life jackets, we've come to realize that the best life jacket is the one you'll actually wear, and a life jacket you'll wear is the one that feels great all-day long. The evolution of NRS PFDs continues with the ultra-comfortable, low profile Ion.
  • The Ion is a type III, low profile PFD delivering 16.5 lbs of flotation.
  • The Ion's six-panel design uses ultra soft foam for a flexible fit that wraps effortlessly around your torso and flows with your movements.
  • The raised foam panels of our Cool Flow System (CFS) provides ventilation along the spine for increased comfort on warm days.
  • Tough ripstop nylon adds durability in high-wear areas.
  • Padded shoulder straps, a soft interior lining and comfy hand warmer pouch make this jacket as cozy as it is comfortable.
  • Large, front zippered pocket secures all those on-the-water necessities, and a zipper on both sides makes accessing that sunscreen or camera a cinch, no matter which hand is free.
  • A knife lash tab, shoulder strap garages and reflective accents round out the features.
  • This jacket carries the US Coast Guard Certification, through testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

US Coast Guard Type:
The USCG classifies life jackets into Type I, II. III, IV and V categories. Most recreational jackets fall in Type III. Type V covers special use jackets, like inflatable and ones for rescue and commercial boating.
III
Profile:
Low profile jackets are more compact, top-to-bottom, with thicker flotation panels; they provide great arm mobility. Flotation panels on Medium profile jackets cover more of the torso, but tend to have thinner panels. Flotation panels on High profile jackets also cover more of the torso, but have thicker panels for maximum flotation.
