Why We Like The Ion Personal Flotation Device
Designed to keep us paddling comfortably, the Ion PFD includes six foam panels to allow increased range of motion for long days on flat to mild water. This low-profile PFD offers a single side buckle for easy entry, and features AirMesh inner panels to keep you comfortable all day long. Plus, NRS gave it reflective details to give you more visibility on cloudy days or once the sun's set already.
