NRS Ninja Kayak Lifejacket (PFD)

It’s pretty awesome looking. Fits well/adjustable. Has a nice sturdy pocket that easily zips and upzips. I’ve floated for about an hour in it and tried swimming underwater. It was super bouyent! Haha Also wore it sailing a couple times in a NRS drysuit and it was comfy and maybe added a tiny bit of warmth around my chest.My biggest challenge was getting it to stay down around my body and not slip up into my neck. To remedy that issue I just loosened the shoulder straps and cinched the stomach strap tight and then retightened the shoulder straps and that stayed put much better.

Great PFD. Comfortable, maneuverable, nice pockets.

Great pfd for kayaking. Plenty of freedom of movement in arms and torso. The clamshell pocket is great upgrade from the previous pouch version.

Comfortable fit for kayaking with a low profile neck. The front zippered pocket is good size for large cell phone. Love the bright safety lime color. Very fast delivery!!

This lifejacket seems great. I love how it is low profile so it doesnt get in your way of your arms. Because it is low profile it is thicker than your average lifejacket but that is probably because it needs to be since its smaller. I like the pocket in front and the hand warmers. However, I did end up returning it and going with the Astral, Ceiba Life Jacket instead. Where this jacket sits on my abdomen, causes me a bit of discomfort but keep in mind due to a few medical conditions I have any kind of pressure on certain areas of my abdomen cause me pain. Even when I tried to loosen the straps it still just didn't feel as comfortable as the Astral. I also like how the Astral goes on like a jacket where you zip and connect one strap whereas the Ninja you have to put over your head and then connect 2 straps on the side - it made it a bit clumsier to put on. Overall, if this is comfortable for you, I think its great especially for those who paddle and want more arm swing without scaping on the jacket. I didnt try in the water. Also, they don't offer free returns - whopping $8.96 to return and you have to print the label. Not very convenient.

I can't even tell I'm wearing the pfd when I'm kayaking so that's fantastic. I bought the large/xlarge option and it has plenty of adjustment for me at 5'10" 200 lbs. I've only used it on flat water so far but I noticed that more than a few raft guides on the ocoee river used this model. The front pocket is big enough to hold a Samsung S20 in a waterproof case.

I'm 4'11" woman with a large chest. Most PDFs are too long for my torso and too bulky in the chest. This one is short and the triangle tip is sort of between, so where is room on the sides for bosom. I'm using a sit in touring kayak with a low back seat.

Needed one and the price was outstanding. Love it!
