Astral Layla

The Layla is specifically engineered for the female anatomy, featuring hinged princess seams and sculpted chest cups. This design allows the vest to contour to your body shape, providing a secure, comfortable fit that won't feel restrictive or bulky while you paddle.

Yes, the Layla is rated as a USCG Type III PFD and is designed for touring, SUP, and whitewater use. Its articulated foam panels ensure you maintain a full range of motion, which is essential for active paddling environments.

This combination offers a sustainable approach to buoyancy without sacrificing performance. It provides a comfortable, reliable float while reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional foam materials.

The Layla uses a 3/4 zip side-entry system. This design allows you to step into the vest or pull it on over your head easily, which is often more convenient than a traditional front-zip style, especially when you are already on the water or wearing layers.

Yes, the large front pocket is designed with internal compartments, making it easy to organize small essentials like keys, a multi-tool, or a snack. However, ensure your phone is in a waterproof case before storing it, as the pocket itself is not waterproof.

Sizing is based on your chest measurement. The XS fits 27-31 inches, S/M fits 31-37 inches, M/L fits 38-44 inches, and L/XL fits 45-51 inches. For the most accurate fit, measure around the fullest part of your chest while wearing the layers you plan to use on the water.
