NW Pro System Detachable Pockets Rescue PFD

We take our standard issue PFD and give you the ability to customize it to fit your needs. It can be left as a basic PFD (photo Without pockets) or completely customized (photo With pockets). 
Each component can be added or removed as required. The ability to customize your PFD without affecting the Coast Guard Approval puts these PFD’s in a class unto themselves. 
Below you will find a wide variety of accessories and because we manufacture in North America we are able to offer special equipment adaptations, as your industry or team requires.
PFD Includes Extrication Line and Quick Release Belt.

Quick Release Belt

Positioned on the PFD to ensure safe in-water body orientation when attached to an external line.

Extrication Line

Upgraded with a NEW chest attachment system. This tubular webbing contact system attaches to the Quick Release Belt at the back of your PFD by a stainless steel d-ring and adjustable ladder lock. The activation point mounts on the chest area to enable an entrapped person to assist a rescuer in their own extrication. This safe low profile design will release automatically from any direction under specific load conditions.  It can be reached with either hand and remains accessible during a lower body pin. The keyhole carabiner will not snag while engaging or disengaging, thereby reducing risk and time during the rescue.
