NRS Basic Touring Safety Kit
- The Nexus Whistle is a pea-less design that is ideal for water environments. It's loud, has a built-in clip and a hole for lanyard attachment.
- The NRS Paddle Float is the best on the market. You only need to inflate one chamber when you need to rescue yourself; we add a second chamber for safety and dependability. Each chamber displaces 7 liters - almost 2 gallons.
- The NRS Bilge Pump is a heavy-duty pump, moving 8 gallons a minute to dry your boat out in a hurry. Comes with its own foam float that saves it if lost overboard.
- The Boat Sponge takes out the last bit of moisture and the sand and silt that the Bilge Pump doesn't reach.

Comments about NRS Basic Touring Safety Kit:
This is a very good combination of necessary safety items for any kayak owner. I looked at a competitor's product, which was a little less money but featured a paddle float with only one chamber. This one has two chambers. In using the float, I only needed to inflate one side -- it worked fine without both being inflated. But the second chamber is a nice backup feature in case the other is punctured or otherwise fails. The float also has reflective borders making it easier to see it in the water. The bilge pump works great and has its own float. The competitor's package included a pump which did not appear to have a flotation ring. The entire kit came with two separate mesh bags with velcro closures, to be used for storage.

My wife and I have recently taken up kayaking and we tend to pick up those safety and comfort things we feel are essential, like the safety kit. This was a peace of mind purchase for a good price.

Comments about NRS Basic Touring Safety Kit:
Used all of these during a kayaking rescue class. The pump and sponge work well. Easily fit under the bungees on the kayak. The float is easy to inflate. Only thing I would change is the draw cord on the float. I would take it off. Just gets in the way. I like wrapping the float around the paddle and using the clip to close it.

Comments about NRS Basic Touring Safety Kit:
Purchased this kit to equip my son's new kayak that we built. Paddle float and pump are great. I didn't like the sponge as much as my favorite (microfiber covered) one, but it was OK. Didn't seem to be quite as absorbent.
Service and delivery comments:
As always, GREAT customer service from NRS.
