Nookie Rivermonster XT Buoyancy Aid / PFD - When All You Need Is Everything...

The Nookie Rivermonster has a heritage in the Nookie range like no other product. It has supported generations of kayakers in its various editions and has a solid history in whitewater kayaking.

Nookie Rivermonster - 2016

It was first launched at the turn of the Century with a nearly inexhaustible list of features and high volume flotation.

This revolutionary addition to Nookie was popular among Team Riders, Swift Water Rescue experts and Weekend Warriors!

Later generations were updated to new colourways with higher visibility through the addition of retroreflective panels on the upper half for safety.

When the Rivermonster had it's first big revamp. The bulky front pocket was replaced with a layered neoprene pocket for equally good storage but a streamlined finish for less bulk. The intergrated pocket offers specific spaces and attachment points for carabiners and knives as well as enough space to stow slings, mobile phones and nutrition bars. The high-spec 50mm seatbelt webbing is used throughout as an integrated shoulder, waist and optional crotch harness system. This same high-spec webbing is also used for the quick release chest rescue belt.

The Rivermonster had softened. Its engineered more ergonomic fit offered more comfort on the water with improved adjustability.

 

The latest version is available in a bright yellow with multi-layer shoulder padding that is second to none with the clever 'once-only' adjustment system. Designed to keep the same great fit every time you put it on.

Nookie Boardies - our new favourite shorts

The design team are pretty excited about the new Nookie Boardies. 

 Sometimes what seems to be the simplest design takes the longest to get right.

A phenomenal amount of careful pattern design, fabric specification, sampling and customer feedback have gone into these simple board shorts to make sure they're perfect.

 Made from a soft polyester fabric that not only hangs nicely when worn, but dries incredibly quickly to make them comfortable to wear literally every day.

Replacing the traditional Velcro fly with a Lycra gusset and lace tie makes these shorts soft against the skin and easy to adjust. Not to mention they avoid embarassing Velcro bulges when sitting down ;)

 Great attention to detail has gone in to making really useful pockets. The generous hand pockets are exactly that; perfect for mooching about.

The clever 'hidden' pocket inside the right seam is zipped shut to keep its contents safe. Add to that a useful shockord/bungee loop inside to attach your keys or other valuables to and you'll never lose them.

Available in two colours, grey with blue trim, or grey with yellow trim.

Wear them on a board, in a boat, at the beach or in a bar!
We hope they'll also be your new favourite shorts pretty soon too.
