NRS Ninja PFD

NRS Ninja PFD – Low-Profile Comfort, Maximum Performance

Whether you're mastering river rapids or just getting started, the newly redesigned NRS Ninja PFD delivers low-profile flotation with unmatched freedom of movement. Engineered for athletic performance and all-day comfort, the Ninja uses NRS’s exclusive Orbit Fit System to create a streamlined, body-hugging fit that stays secure—even in turbulent waters.

Originally designed for freestyle kayaking, the Ninja has become a favorite across paddling disciplines thanks to its compact design, comfortable cut, and clever storage. Built with recycled materials, it also reflects a commitment to sustainability without sacrificing durability or performance.
