NRS Zander PFD vs NRS Chinook PFD

Hey, it's Andy here from AQ Outdoors at Edmonton. Today we're gonna talk about the NRS Zander PFD and the NRS Chinook PFD.

Both the Zander and Chinook are very feature-rich PFDs. Starting at the top and working down, we have:

Shoulder strap adjustments
Shoulder strap storage pockets
Rescue knife holders
Pocket options for storing all your different fishing knick-knacks
PLI holders
Different clip-off points for any accessories you may bring on the water with you

The main difference between the Chinook and the Zander is that the Chinook has a high back and the Zander has a full back.

There are lots of factors that determine what’s going to make a PFD right for you and your boat. To find out which one may be best for you, check us out in store at our Calgary & Edmonton Locations.
