Organic Kapok

Organic Kapok provides the MOST conforming fit of ANY buoyancy material. It is sustainably harvested by hand.

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.

High Seat

Compatible with the high seat backs in today's recreational kayaks. Astral's design solution keeps the upper back ventilated and the middle back supported.

Sun

We reduced the "R-Value" of this vest by minimizing the torso-contacting surfaces. A good choice for folks in warm climates

Reflective Trim

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

Chimney Vent

To stay cool, you can ride with the zipper down.The back-up Buckle will keep the vest secure.

Booster

The back of this vest is compatible our Booster attachment. When installed, the buoyancy of the vest jumps to 21 lbs. The most comfortable HIGH FLOAT Type III PFD ever made.
