Product Details

Type III Breathing is good. PFDs help us stay afloat so we can breathe...now here's a PFD that can also breathe. Astral's V-Eight™ with Airescape technology vents naturally for unparalleled comfort.
  • Next to your body a wide, soft, open-weave mesh allows free transport of warm air and sweat away from your torso.
  • The inside of the PFDs foam has a textured surface that reduces body contact by 70%, creating channels for air to move freely.
  • Strategically placed "Vent Port" cutouts in the foam let warm air escape out of the jacket.
  • This tough, breathable life jacket is covered with 200 x 400-denier rip stop nylon, with a polyester mesh liner that is very comfortable.
  • Articulated Foam panels adjust to a wide range of body types and are environmentally friendly.
  • Fits both men and women well the foam in the upper front is sculpted to fit a woman's body.
  • The mesh back is ideal for warm temperatures keeping you cool and comfortable under the hot summer sun and staying out of the way of your seat back.
  • The large mesh cargo pocket holds a bunch and there's also a handy small pocket inside the upper left panel.
  • The sturdy lash tab secures your knife or other gear.
  • The front entry is easy to get in and out of with the Self-locking Vislon Teeth YKK® zipper.
  • Design flotation: Minimum of 15.5lbs at time of manufacture.

Profile:
Low profile jackets are more compact, top-to-bottom, with thicker flotation panels; they provide great arm mobility. Flotation panels on Medium profile jackets cover more of the torso, but tend to have thinner panels. Flotation panels on High profile jackets also cover more of the torso, but have thicker panels for maximum flotation.
