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.

Chimney Vent

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

Airescape (patent pending)

Airescape technology minimizes the PFD's surface contact with your torso while strategically placed vent ports allow body heat to escape.

Articulated Foam Panels

Ergonomically shaped foam provides unsurpassed fit and freedom of movement, conforming naturally to your torso.

Mesh Back

This mesh back design accommodates boats with high seatbacks while allowing maximum air flow and ventilation to the back panel.
