Astral Layla Life Jacket

The Layla is specifically engineered for female ergonomics, featuring sculpted chest cups and hinged princess seams. This design prevents the vest from feeling restrictive across the chest while allowing for a more secure, contoured fit that moves with your body during paddling.

Kapok is a naturally buoyant, sustainable fiber that provides reliable flotation without the bulk of traditional foam. It helps the vest maintain a lower profile, which improves your range of motion and comfort on the water.

Yes, the Layla is a Type III PFD, making it appropriate for whitewater and touring. Its secure fit and freedom of movement are designed specifically for active water sports where you need to paddle confidently.

The Layla is designed to fit chest sizes ranging from 31 to 37 inches. Because it uses a side-entry zipper, it is important to ensure you fall within this range to get the full benefit of the contoured fit.

It features a large front pocket with internal organization, which is ideal for small essentials like a whistle or snacks. Additionally, it includes a dedicated knife tab and a key loop to keep your safety tools secure and accessible.

The side-entry zipper is designed to simplify getting the vest on and off, which is generally easier than pulling a vest over your head. Once zipped and adjusted, it provides a very secure, streamlined fit.
