Welcome to the Paddler Guide Gear Lab! Today we’re reviewing the Vector from NRS! 


We are stoked to present you with a new format across our different channels: Product Review Videos! From the studio and on the river, we introduce you to different products, tell you all the specs you need to know, and show you how they perform on the water.

 

The Vector is a rescue PFD by NRS that won Apparel & Equipment of the Year Award at the Paddle Sports Show last year with its unique RECCO® technology and a design that adapts to everybody.

« This PFD is for multi-use and being safe on the river. »

RECCO® technology is a two-part search and rescue system, often used in avalanche searches. The PFD includes a passive reflector (no power needed) which can be detected by radar units operated by professional rescue teams. This makes it much easier to locate you in case of an emergency, while adding no weight to your kit.

Find the Finna Paddle on the Paddler Guide website or on the NRS website.
