The Best, In Blue!

Honestly, I already have a three year old Blue Jacket in the black and pine green color, but bought a Prijon Beast in almost this same Glacier Blue, and just could not pass up have a matching PFD. My old one is now dedicated to pushing rubber, where it compliments a Shredder with esteem! I will love them both equally~

Comfy And Secure

Comfy but secure fit, love the low profile allowing a great range of motion. Clam shell front zip pocket is quite handy for things like rescue carabiners, snacks, or a fly box. I can wear the Blue all day and forget I'm wearing it.

At Last, The Perfect Pfd.

I have been a boater since 1996 and this is by far the best PFD I have ever had. The clamshell pocket is ample in size and by design very easy to access. The profile allows for unimpeded movement while delivering 16.4 pounds of floatation. The placement of the straps allows for a fit that feels as comfortable as it secure. I especially appreciate the design of the shoulder strap adjustments that make it easy to adjust from the lower front of the pfd rather than the awkward top of the strap standard. The build quality of this vest is industry unmatched IMHO. Thanks Astral!

The Versatile Green Jacket Is Just What I Needed.

I have been looking for a good versatile and comfortable PFD. I’m an Instructor and teach safety in my classes so often play the rescue victim so know how effective it is when in the water and out of your boat. I also serve as a safety boat for paddling events so have towed a number of Kayaks, Canoes and SUPs for exhausted or injured paddlers as it performs well. I enjoy sea kayaking and surfski paddling so paddle often in rough conditions and confident the Green Jacket adds additional safety. It has plenty of flotation and appreciate the extra protection it gives my rib cage. I did some open water rescue training on Lake Superior in windy conditions there was never a problem with the Green Jacket it stayed secure and in place. I recently purchased a second one as we spend the winter paddling season in Texas so want to always have one handy.

Comfortable, Innovative, Brilliant Design

The fit is great. It’s designed so well that I barely know I have it on. The bottom part gently hugs my torso, very comfortably moving with me. Yet, the front clamshell stay’s slightly away from my body, even when its separate straps are pulled down tight, making it feel roomy and freeing. And the cut up top leaves plenty of room for every movement. It’s really a brilliant, innovative design. The small, side gear pockets and the large front storage pocket (with really smart and convenient sun pockets) is also definitely a huge plus!
