Astral GreenJacket Rescue Lifejacket (PFD)

Astral GreenJacket Rescue Lifejacket (PFD)

The Astral GreenJacket Rescue Lifejacket (PFD) is a high-performance kayak rescue vest designed for river guides, expedition kayakers, and serious whitewater paddlers. Combining high buoyancy and full rescue capabilities with a comfortable, low-profile design, the GreenJacket provides the mobility, protection, and functionality needed in demanding rescue environments.

Tested and trusted by experienced expedition paddlers, the GreenJacket features a durable 500-denier Cordura nylon shell with Gaia and PE foam flotation. Its two-panel fit system helps eliminate ride-up while allowing maximum freedom of movement both in and out of the water. Eight adjustment points provide a highly customizable fit, while the front panel moves naturally with your upper body while the inner panel remains securely anchored.

Built for demanding rescue operations, the GreenJacket incorporates Flotection armor plating along the sides to help protect the ribs and vital areas from impacts. The integrated quick-release rescue harness is tack-stitched into the vest for exceptional strength and integrity, while the 544 kg tensile-strength rescue harness includes a carabiner park for conveniently securing a tow tether biner and a Spectra safety loop for emergency extractions.

Storage is another key strength of this kayak rescue PFD. A large zippered clamshell front pocket provides multiple compartments for organizing rescue equipment, while storage behind the front panel can accommodate a small throw bag. Zippered side cargo pockets keep essential gear accessible, fleece-lined hand warmers protect fingers during cold rescue situations, and a front lash tab provides a convenient attachment point for a rescue knife.
