NRS has good stuff generally. A long standing paddlesports supplier (rafting, kayaking, canoeing, now SUP also). Their "house brand" (NRS brand) sometimes provides similar quality to better known name brands at a slightly lower price. cheers, John S. On 02/01/2016 06:58 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:
Jazz, Just upgraded my own safety gear yesterday. Found some decent stuff at competitive prices (believe it or not) at West Marine.com. Also some really nice (read comfortable) 16.5 lb flotation vests at NRS.com pfd's. I went with kayak style vests PFD type 3 CG approved because they are much more comfortable and less confining than the boxy standard bright orange things. NRS also has theirs lined with a netting that is supposed to allow air to flow beneath them, very important down here in the deep south. The combination(built in) jacket/safety belt items cost more than I wanted to spend. If you don't have one already I recommend visiting a West Marine store and picking up one of their telephone book sized catalogs. They are a wealth of information and they handle enough different brand names of items to be able to go to that company's website and comparison shop. Also on the web you will get other companies that deal with the same item. You can spend a whole day (I almost did) just shopping the web for what you want. Never heard of NRS before yesterday but they have some very impressive equipment, for example. Happy shopping. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Tom if you meant to send me a pfd link or pic...I'm not seeing it. Believe it or not I'm having a hard time finding pfd with harness that's not auto. So if you know of something link me! Jazz
