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.

The evolution of the legendary Chinook PFD continues. Combining our Orbit Fit System, an artfully shaped back flotation panel, and the extensive pocket configuration that's kept the Chinook a best-seller for over ten years, anglers won't find a better-fitting, higher-performing jacket.
The Orbit Fit System layers multiple pieces of lightweight closed-cell foam cut to precise specifications to create a unique, flexible, pre-curved shape that effortlessly conforms to your body.
Graded Sizing takes into account the appropriate amount of flotation needed for individual body types, resulting in a better-fitting, more comfortable life jacket for all.
Back flotation panel conforms to an angler's back, ensuring a flush fit.
A mesh lower back offers added ventilation on warm days.
YKK‚ zipper entry plus adjustments on shoulders, side and waist secure the life jacket and provide a custom fit.
Two large clamshell pockets, sized for fly and tackle boxes, with internal organization.
One exterior pocket on the angler's right side offers easily accessible storage.
Tool holder pocket for quick access to pliers or line cutters with hook-and-loop closure and an integrated rod holder for hands-free tasks.
Sustainable construction combines a recycled ripstop nylon shell with a recycled nylon inner that protects PVC-free Ethafoam shims.
Silicone-coated inner waistband helps hold the PFD in place when swimming.
Features 3M‚ reflective accents, shoulder strap keepers, and multiple attachment points on front and back for knife, lights, strobes, etc.
