Why We Like The Astral Green Jacket Personal Flotation Device
The Green Jacket Personal Flotation Device is Astral's most innovative and comfortable life vest. This is a PFD for river guides and expedition paddlers that's been tested in the most extreme paddling environments. The Tectonic foam panel fit system allows the outer panel to move freely to maximize our mobility while the inner panel stays planted against our body to keep our PFD in place. There's a quick-release harness that's stitched into the side of the vest for integrity, rope-ready storage under the front panel, and side pockets to store our throw rope. Even with this laundry list of forward-thinking safety features, the Green Jacket still rides low and compact to stay out of our way while we're paddling.

Rescue vest size small
This is the best life jacket I've ever owned. One downside is it's hard to get off compared to others that unclip.

Green Jacket
The Astral Green jacket pfd is extremely comfortable and in no way feels like it limits movement when paddling. I needed a rescue pfd for my work with search and rescue. Although I have not used it to date on a mission I am sure it will perform well. I could not be more satisfied with this pfd.

Supremely comfortable
The Greenjacket is the best PFD I have ever owned, I wear it almost everyday for 4 months straight and it's comfortable, easy to use, and has plenty of storage for all my stuff. Definitely recommend it for anyone doing work on the water.

Personal favorite PFD
I love my Greenjacket. It is the perfect blend of storage and comfort. I can playboat and be flexible in it and still carry whatever I need. I really love the clamshell, it is spacious without being too bulky. I also like how it opens and makes a little space to set things when opened most of the way if I am in a calm spot or on the riverbank. It is also very comfortable for a long day on the water.

Good but not perfect
It does it's job as a pfd very well - it's lovely and floaty as well as comfortable. I love the waterproof canvas and how quickly the whole jacket dries. It did arrive with a slash in the canvas at the back (only cosmetic but not ideal) and the zips get stuck sometimes on the clamshell which is more of a problem when I'm trying to open and close the pocket quickly.

Well made
Had my first water rescue with my new gear. Fit well. I have to get used to putting it on over my head and not like a jacket. I won't use the personal throw bag at work, only for my personal rafting.

20+ years of experience, I would choose no other.
Best rescue vest on the market. Super comfortable to boot. I’ve used an earlier iteration for almost 20 years for both swift water rescue and open water/ocean applications. This vest has performed exceptionally well in training. I’m convinced it will surpass my old version in real rescues. And they have upped the anti with comfort, flotation, and style.

Love the green jacket
I love this jacket, I primarily use it for sea kayaking, coaching, guiding, clinics, and courses. I went with the green jacket because of its durability, wish it came with side entry.

Safty First
As a raft guide, I love the green jacket. rafting Christal Clearwater is always nice but going to glacier/sediment filled Rivers kills all PFDs. Remember your safety get a new PFD.
