Overview

NRS Matik Inflatable Lifejacket (PFD)

The NRS Matik Inflatable Lifejacket (PFD) resembles a traditional lifevest with the compact convenience of an inflatable. An alternative to waist-belted PFDs, the lightweight, low-profile Matik gives you on-demand flotation that doesn't get in your way stand-up paddling, fishing or wading.

  • This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 22.5 lbs. of flotation
  • Folds compactly into a low-profile horse-collar style jacket
  • Secures with a waist buckle when deflated
  • Integrated bladder instantly inflates with CO2 gas pressure when immersed in water
  • Zippered pocket w/ internal tether for keys or a whistle
  • Two D-Ring attachment points
  • Manual backup cord, mouth inflation valve, reflective accents and two attachment points
  • Includes one-time-use CO2 cartridge & re-packing instructions
  • Replacement CO2 Re-Arming Kits are sold separately
  • Only meets USCG Type III requirements when worn

Made with PFAS chemicals.

Please Note - 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.

CO2 cartridges are one-time-use only. It’s good practice to keep an extra on hand to re-arm the PFD after each inflation.
