NRS Tow Tether

The strong NRS Tow Tether, with built-in bungee, is used with the quick-release harnesses on rescue life jackets.

• Tow Tether lengths:
  33": Stretched length is 33", unstretched is 19"
  53": Stretched length is 53", unstretched is 33"
  Add 6" to length for carabiner and metal O-ring
• The Tow Tether, sometimes called a "cow tail," enhances towing boats in rescue situations.
• The stainless steel O-ring includes a hook patch of "hook and loop" material that facilitates centering of the O-ring on vests that have the loop material sewn on in the back.
• The Tether also has a hook patch on the carabiner end. This mates with a loop piece available on some rescue PFDs, forming a quick-release holder for the carabiner.
• The Standard D Locking Carabiner prevents accidental snag on brush in the field or with other gear.

Extrasport UT3

This is our original, short-waisted design for comfort and ease of movement. A great life vest for outfitters, rental fleets and private rafters, it's a universally sized PFD assuring sessions of fun for recreational boaters.

GlideFit™ patented comfort construction This Extrasport® innovation ensures a comfortable fit and easier movement during paddle strokes. How? We radically redesigned the foam inserts in most life vests, which are nothing more than a couple of layers of roughly the same size and shape, one just sitting on the other. We found that you get a more comfortable and accommodating fit by placing a smaller outer layer of foam on a larger, thinner layer—so the foam wraps around and conforms to your torso much better. Then we wrap the outer layer with our GlideFit™ Cartilage, a unique, patented system that allows the panels to glide on each other, even when wet.

How It Works

---

	The outer foam layer is smaller than the inner layer, and is wrapped with fabric "cartilage" to allow the layers to glide on each other and wrap the torso more comfortably.
	The inner layer is thin and glides under the smaller outer layer as it wraps around your body. This offers less resistance to your movements and paddle strokes, and therefore, a more comfortable fit.

PFD Sizing

Find your proper size by reading the chest-size range on the PFDs inside label. Make sure it's U.S. Coast Guard approved for your size, weight and type of activity. If you do different types of boating, you should get the right PFD for each.

Children's PFDs are sized by suggested weight ranges. Know your child's weight before selecting a PFD or take your child to the store to try it on. It's very important to select a PFD your child can easily wear.

Fitting Tips

Try on several PFD models with different amounts of clothing, to gauge how the PFD will feel when worn during different seasons. Adjustable straps will help you alter the fit for the amount of clothing you'll wear.

A PFD should fit snugly. If it's too loose it won't provide proper floatation. To check fit, put on the PFD and tighten all straps and close zippers. Then raise your arms above your head and have someone lift the PFD at your shoulders. If it moves freely and almost comes off, or if the main zipper touches your nose, it's too big. The procedure is the same for fitting children's PFDs.

This universally sized, high-floatation life vest is designed for full-feature performance. Large, divided side pockets, external D-rings and lash tabs provide plenty of room for accessories and essential gear. It comfortably fits chest sizes from 30" to 56".
