Astral Indus LE Bones Red: High-pressure vest for whitewater

Astral Indus LE: A Limited Edition Taken to the Extreme

The Astral Indus LE, featuring the unique Bones Red design, is a high-float rescue vest designed for the most challenging aquatic environments. Its design is based on the legendary GreenJacket, but it offers 33% more buoyancy, providing a critical safety margin when swimming in strong currents and highly aerated water. This limited edition combines a striking safety-focused look with functional details for rescue scenarios. The use of durable, completely PVC-free materials will satisfy even the most demanding users who require reliability and environmental friendliness.

Fit and Mobility: The FoamTectonics™ System

Powerful buoyancy must not restrict the paddler. Astral solves this problem with advanced ergonomics:

• FoamTectonics™: A unique design featuring two panels. The inner panel snugly wraps around the torso, ensuring that the vest stays in place. The outer panel, on the other hand, moves freely with the body. The result is perfect mobility while paddling, swimming, and climbing along the shore.
• FloTech™ Back Protection: The contoured, high-buoyancy back foam not only helps keep the rider safely afloat, but also serves as effective protection for the spine against impacts with underwater obstacles.
• Pullover input: The pullover design, with precise side adjustments, eliminates a jumble of excess straps and zippers around the chest and neck. As a result, the vest doesn't twist during rotation and stays exactly where it's supposed to.

Professional Rescue Equipment

The Astral Indus LE is designed as a full-fledged work tool for rescue workers:

• Quick-Release Rescue Harness: A fully integrated rescue strap with a quick-release mechanism (requires appropriate training), which is indispensable for swiftwater rescue, belaying (live bait), and towing.
• Rope Ready™ and Web-Toe™: Revolutionary storage space hidden behind the front panel and side pockets allow for safe and immediately accessible storage of a throw line and loops without getting in the way of hand movement.
• Organizing Equipment: The low-profile central pocket with easy access can hold carabiners, pulleys, and prusik loops. The vest also features pre-installed loops (knife tabs) for a rescue knife and a safety light.
• Reinforced shoulders: The shoulder straps are directly connected to the main chest harness, ensuring exceptional load-bearing capacity and reliability when pulling a rescuer or swimmer out of the water.

What is this vest ideal for?

This model is designed for riders who push themselves to the limit:

• Big-water kayakers: Enormous buoyancy and stability when swimming in deep, aerated water, where standard life jackets aren't enough.
• Swiftwater rescue and instructors: Professional integrated rescue equipment (harness, space for a throw bag, high load capacity) for technical rescue from shore and from the water.
• Safety and lead boaters: The Bones Red edition offers clear visibility and ensures you're always ready to act and keep the entire group safe.
