Save on past season colors! The world’s first breathable PFD keeps you cool and comfortable even in hot and humid conditions!

The Astral Buoyancy V-Eight combines the new AirEscape technology with an ergonomic design, quick drying and durable Ripstop shell, and ample pocket space for your next water outing.

The new AirEscape technology is a revolutionary design in PFDs. Most life vests create a nonbreathable barrier against skin. The AirEscape breathable technology utilizes vent ports on the front and back, as well as a polyester mesh liner next to the body, which allow trapped heat to escape and fresh air to enter. This works in conjunction with an egg-crate style EVA contoured foam which reduces body-to-PFD contact by 70%, further allowing air to circulate. By eliminating this excessive buildup of heat and perspiration, a paddler can maintain a comfortable core temperature, even in hot and humid conditions.

A great choice for recreational or touring paddling, kayak fishing and sailing.

Features and specifications on the V-Eight include:

  • High mesh back - compatible with high seat backs.
  • Unisex model with short torso height and sculpted chest area.
  • Adjustable shoulder and side straps provide for an individual fit on a wide range of body sizes.
  • Large arm openings for unrestricted paddling
  • Ultralite PE-lined material is environmentally considerate, using a fraction of the petroleates found in other materials
  • Articulated foam panels with lightweight PE foam construction.
  • Contoured EVA sculpts the body, providing maximum airflow  and comfort.
  • Durable and quick-drying 420/210 ripstop nylon outer shell protects the foam while allowing air to escape.
  • Acetal plastic hardware, self-locking Vislon teeth zippers from YKK and Polypro webbing
  • Large front pocket plus one interior storage sleeve
  • Reflective accents on front and back
  • Quick access knife tab
  • Sizing (measured at the largest circumference of the torso in inches): S/M = 31-37” M/L = 38-44” L/XL = 45-51”
  • Minimum 15.5 lbs of buoyancy.US Coast Guard Type III approved PFD.
