NRS Matik Inflatable PFD
$189.95
An alternative to waist-belted PFDs, the low-profile NRS Matik Inflatable PFD resembles a traditional life vest with the compact convenience of an inflatable.
Description
- This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 22.5 lbs. of flotation and only meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements as a Type III life jacket when worn.
- The Matik folds compactly into a low-profile horse-collar-style jacket to give you on-demand flotation that doesn’t get in your way while stand-up paddling, fishing, or wading.
- When deflated, the vest secures with a waist buckle and offers one adjustment point for a snug fit.
- The Matik does not inflate automatically; in the event of a swim, pull the red tab to engage the pressurized CO₂, inflating the integrated bladder.
- Features a zippered pocket with an internal tether for keys or a whistle, plus a manual backup cord, mouth inflation valve, reflective accents, and two attachment points.
- Includes a 24-gram CO₂ cartridge. Replacement CO₂ re-arming kits (item #40100.01) are sold separately.
- CO₂ cartridges are one-time use only. It’s good practice to keep an extra CO2 cartridge on hand to rearm the PFD after each inflation.
Note: An inflatable PFD is certified by the US Coast Guard as a Type V PFD. However, it meets Coast Guard requirements for Type III PFDs when it is worn. In other words, you must be wearing the deflated collar for it to qualify as a required flotation device.
