Astral Ceiba PFD

Kapok is a naturally buoyant, sustainable fiber that mimics the soft, compressible feel of down. While it offers a more comfortable, form-fitting experience than traditional stiff foam, it is paired with PE foam in this PFD to ensure consistent, reliable flotation.

Yes, the Ceiba is designed for versatility and is USCG Type III approved, making it appropriate for whitewater, touring, and sailing. It includes a quick-access knife tab, which is a standard safety feature for whitewater environments.

The Ceiba features nine points of adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the fit across your torso and shoulders. This extensive adjustability helps ensure the PFD stays secure and comfortable regardless of your body shape or the layers you are wearing underneath.

Yes, it includes fleece-lined hand warmer pockets for comfort, along with secure internal storage for keys. While it has dedicated spots for small items, it does not have large cargo pockets for bulky gear.

The shell is made from 100% recycled polyester, which is Bluesign certified for environmental standards. It is durable enough for general paddling and touring, though it is designed more for comfort and sustainability than for extreme abrasion resistance.

The Ceiba does not come with reflective accents or an integrated whistle. If you are paddling in low-light conditions or remote areas, you will need to attach your own safety whistle and visibility gear.
