NRS Matik Inflatable PFD

The NRS Matik Inflatable PFD resembles a traditional life vest with the compact convenience of an inflatable and is an alternative to waist-belt PFDs. The NRS Matik Inflatable PFD is a lightweight self-inflating PFD that 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. 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.

Notes:
•   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.
•   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 re-arm the PFD after each inflation.
