Astral Green Jacket

While it is a high-performance vest, it is designed specifically for demanding river environments and rescue scenarios. If you are a casual paddler, you might find the rescue harness and specialized storage features unnecessary, though the comfort and impact protection are excellent for any paddler.

Foam Tectonics allows the front panel of the vest to move independently from the back panel. This means that when you twist or reach while paddling, the vest moves with your torso rather than restricting your range of motion.

Yes, this is a Type V rescue vest specifically engineered for whitewater and expedition paddling. It includes essential safety features like a quick-release rescue harness and dedicated storage for throw ropes, making it a standard choice for serious river enthusiasts.

The Green Jacket uses a Torso Fit Adjustment system that tightens the vest around your midsection rather than pulling straps near your face. This creates a secure, low-profile fit that stays in place during active movement.

The vest features 'Flotection' technology, which uses specialized foam to provide impact protection for your back and ribs. This adds an extra layer of security when navigating rocky or challenging river features.

The clamshell pocket is designed with multiple internal compartments to keep your rescue gear organized and accessible. It also includes a dedicated 'Rope Ready' storage area behind the front panel specifically for your throw rope.
