2024 NRS Odyssey PFD

Long days on open water demand a PFD that stays comfortable from the first stroke to the last, and the NRS Odyssey is designed specifically for touring paddlers who spend serious time at sea.

The Orbit Fit System is the foundation of the fit experience, layering multiple pieces of precisely cut lightweight closed-cell foam into a pre-curved, flexible shape that conforms to your body without requiring you to cinch it down uncomfortably tight. Equal flotation distribution between front and back creates a slim, medium-profile jacket that moves with you rather than fighting your paddle stroke. Graded Sizing ensures the right amount of flotation for individual body types, and a silicone-coated inner waistband keeps the PFD from riding up during a swim. Six adjustment points on the shoulders, sides, and waist plus a YKK zipper entry let you fine-tune the fit over whatever layering system you're running.

Storage and safety features are where the Odyssey really earns its place on a sea kayaking or coastal touring kit list. Two large zippered pockets and two small dual-entry expandable pockets sized for a radio or GPS handle the essentials, while an external pocket sleeve accommodates a folding knife and a hidden lash tab takes a fixed blade. Ten attachment points keep safety accessories close at hand, and extensive 3M SOLAS reflective accents maximise visibility in low light. The sustainable construction uses recycled ripstop nylon, recycled nylon inner, and PVC-free Ethafoam shims. Compatible with the NRS Swig Hydration Pack for all-day on-water hydration.
