Astral Indus - key features
Astral Indus introduces a new generation of high-float PFD designed for riders facing the most demanding big-water conditions. It is the world's first freestyle-inspired high displacement lifejacket. Utilizing FoamTectonics™ architecture, it offers 33% more buoyancy than the legendary GreenJacket™ and provides maximum safety when swimming in big water conditions. The materials used such as 500D Cordura®, PVC-free Gaia® foam or stainless steel guarantee long life and eco-friendliness.
In reviews, the Astral Indus is appreciated for its durability, fit to the body and the feeling of safety during swimming. In the testers' experience, the vest feels sturdy when first worn, but adapts naturally and does not restrict movement during longer paddles. The rider feels stable in it, which is especially key in Class V passages.
