Pat, I just sent you an email and would like to try to find a way to get you into an LE3. Unfortunately we only made a limited number of LE2s (200 to be exact) and they have been sold out for weeks, that one at the show was our reps personal jacket and was not for sale. Please reply if we can help you out in finding the LE3.

many thanks,

Bryan @ Astral

I was just at Paddlesport in NJ, I was trying to purchase a Green jacket but your booth didn’t have any, that really stunk,the rep let me try on an LE2 and I wanted to buy it but of course, he wouldn”t sell it to me. Are there any LE2 lg xl available.
Is the LE3 out yet and do you have any pictures?

Not to be that guy but, I am pretty sure Polaris (the North Star) is on the end of the handle of the little dipper not the Big. Either way sweet jacket, when do they hit the shops?

Hey B-Rad,

Thanks so much for your kind words and high fives. The LE3 design is not 100% finalized but we are definately working on it. We hope have something to share on the blog in the next few weeks.

Appreciate your support up there in Canada!

cheers-

Hey Bryan what does the LE3 look like? My co-worker and I need new jackets and like the look of the “NEW” Greenjacket. In particular the newer sleeker cut of the front panel of the PFD stands out as Curry’s keen eye and smooth style to detail of a paddling jacket is by far, bar none the best on the face of the Earth! I have always supported his products in one way, shape or form of another and will continue to do so. If you have any seconds or blems let me know even if it warrants the warranty void we don’t care!
Tell Yonton that B-rad from Canada say’s Hi, and give Curry and the Astral Crew my best and High Fives for 2010!

Any update on the LE2 release? I can’t wait! Thanks for saving our butts out their with your amazing products. I purchased an LE1 for my brother over christmas and eager to get an LE2 for myself as soon as they hit. Any beta would be fantastic! I’ve heard possibly as late as May?

Nick,

We have the LE #2 design finished and #3 almost done. Not sure how many batches we will have after that.

We make from 150-300 PFDs per batch depending on the design and time of year.

thanks!

Ghelardk,

Thanks for the insight. For the Greenjacket the S/M is as small as they go. Glad you like the LE#2. Thanks so much for your support.

Happy New Year!

any considerations for a smaller size, as a female river guide i need a rescue vest, but with my curves i can’t seem to tighten it down as much as it needs to go. thanks, i love the le2 and would love to get my hands on one.

Hey Tim,

Yeah, there’s a Big Dipper and North Star on the front of the LE2, glad you dig it. I hear that AK has some great whitewater, that’s cool that you paddle up there and that the 300 has come in handy for you. We appreciate your support up in AK!

THe greenjacket is a thing of beauty. I just had my first run with it on the Calamah river and it felt fantastic. Great work guys and gals.

Is the new Le2 based on the Big Dipper & North Star??? That’s the Alaska State Flag, so looks like I’ll have to get one (I’ve had the original 300 for maybe 7 years now… been repaired by you guys once at the shoulder strap seam… excellent PFD & saved my ass & other people’s asses a countless amount of times!) Guessing you guys don’t want an Alaskan rep? :^) Nice work!

Dimensions on the dogbeds would be nice — small/medium/large is a bit vague. And while it’s a cool on a canine and planetary level, they seem a bit pricey.

Jacket is a thing of beauty!
