The NRS Ninja was a huge hit when it was released with top level performance and fit. For 2024 NRS are introducing the new Ninja Pro PFD.
As a class V whitewater PFD the Ninja Pro gets all of the features that you need and would expect to see.
This includes:
Sizing | Chest | User Weight |
XS/M | 30″ – 38″ | 90 – 150lbs |
M/L | 36″ – 46″ | 90+lbs |
XL/XXL | 44″ – 56″ | 90+lbs |
This PFD will be available in early 2024 and is expected to retail at around $229.95.
The new NRS Vector PFD picks up from where the Zen and Ninja PFDs left off. Both PFDs had a superb fit and if the Vector fits at least as well it will sure to be a winner.
The Vector uses the Orbit Fit System designed for overall comfort, allows for full range of motion, and eliminates the need for excessive tightening.
The NRS Vector PFD will be available in three sizes and three colours. Colours include black, red and the citrus yellow/green shown above. The Vector comes in three sizes as detailed below.
Sizing | Chest | User Weight |
XS/M | 30″ – 38″ | 90 – 154lbs |
M/L | 36″ – 46″ | 90+lbs |
XL/XXL | 44″ – 56″ | 90+lbs |
New for 2023 is the Palm Equipment Riff PFD.
This low profile PFD is constructed with a nylon 420D ripstop fabric filled with Gaia and EPE PVC free buoyancy foam.

Within my paddling group there will be several variations of this kit, it is important that the group is not reliant on one persons kit as it may be that person or that persons boat that is in need of assistance.

Continue readingThe Palm Side swing HMS Karabiner looks like a fairly conventional karabiner that has had some weight shaved off and a trick anodised colour applied. I thought exactly this when it landed here at Unsponsored HQ.
I didn’t even look at the name, as it was obscured by the paperwork, before removing the karabiner from its display card and checking out the gate action.
When you pick up a karabiner it is compulsory to test out the gate action. That is the point that I realised the Palm side swing karabiner was a little bit different.
