Astral Green Jacket

Premium PFD for White Water Kayaking

The Astral Green Jacket is regarded as one of the best white water paddling PFDs on the market for running serious white water. .

Paddlers finding themselves pushing their limits on white water all have one thing in common-the need to rely 100% on their buoyancy aid when they find themselves swimming when things go wrong. Unless of course they are training or on a skills/rescue course.

Combining comfort, safety features and ingenious storage space, the Green Jacket offers everything for the aspiring white water warrior. With numerous adjustment points, and a sliding foam front panel, the wearer can achieve a really comfortable fit over dry-suits, jackets or a rash vest. A cavernous front pocket is supported by two zipped cargo pockets tucked around the sides, out of the way, but perfect for pieces of rescue kit such as slings or karabiners.

With extra reinforcement plates built into the fabric of the PFD, the Green Jacket offers the wearer additional upper body protection from rocks, boats or paddles. A quick release harness is self-explanatory, and unique to the Green Jacket is the front safety loop made from Spectra-allowing the paddler to have more versatility in rescue situations. The fleece lined hand warming area can also be used to stow a small throw-line, for those who wish to carry one on their person.(eg the Astral 15m Throwline)
