Fullbladder
This 1.8 liter hydration reservoir fits into the back of many of our PFDs keeping you hydrated while the water is insulated between the jackets internal foam layers.
Integrated Throwbags
At Astral we believe that paddlers should carry a rope at all times. Make this your motto with our integrated Throwbags that fit in or behind the front pocket of many of our jackets. Choose from Polypro for basic swimmer rescues or Spectra where more complex mechanical advantage systems are required. These bags are always with you, even if your boat is not. Working Load: Polypro 550 lbs, Spectra 1800 lbs
Webtoe
A 6ft Spectra tow strap equipped with a PaddleBiner. This system safely packs into the side pocket of our rescue vests so it is accessible but not dangling in the river where it could become tangled.
Reflective Trim

Reflective accents are placed strategically front and rear, high on the vest for visibility at twilight or in deep water.
Handwarmers

Slip your hands in here to restore blood flow to your digits.
Cargo Pockets

Astral pockets are bigger on the inside than they appear. With clever baffles and gussets, we keep the profile of pockets low when not used, but they expand for your apples.
Knife Park

Quick access lash tab is sufficient for attachment of a knife or a VHF Radio.
