NRS Touring Safety Kits

This is a very good assembly of the basic self-rescue equipment you will need for kayaking. I purchased the Deluxe kit and while the deck bag and paddle leash are not absolutely necessary, they both make life easier when attempting self rescues as I learned in kayaking classes. The bag is a low profile design and keeps everything together on the bow deck and does not impede compass viewing or catch excess wind. The included signal mirror is an ACR model which is argueably the best of it's class. The bilge pump is a very good value and the NRS paddle float is also regarded as the best inflatable float on the market. It works well for this 215# paddler.

If your new to kayaking and want to stay safe. This is a great way to pick up the necessary safety gear. NRS stuff is top quality and you'll not be disappointed.

I am new to kayaking and I am glad to have the delux safety kit. Next month I am taking a continuation class on rescue and the float will be handy for that class. Otherwise I hope never to have to use anything but feel good about having the gear just in case.

All the essentials are included in the basic kit. The bilge pump works great and can get large volumes of water out of the boat quickly. The paddle float is large and easy to use. The sponge soaks up a ton of excess water. The whistle is loud too. Don't be sorry when you get flipped. Get this kit.
