Uncomfortable Zipper

Bought this vest to replace a Lotus Design from 25 years ago. I purchased this past May and used it for the first time this weekend, September. I like the setup, seems to be very good quality construction. Only trying it on, not paddling, I couldn't tell how it would perform. When zipped all the way up, the zipper handle rakes across the underside of your bicep on a left side of the boat paddle stroke. Tried to move and adjust the vest to find a place for it to not hit my arm that way, but I couldn't. I there there could have been a little more thought put into that design. Otherwise would be a flat out awesome piece of equipment for me.

Great Pfd

This is a very good PFD. I am a kayak fisherman and I was looking for a quality PFD with more of a minimalist approach to the design. The single zipper and pocket is almost perfect. For me I would have preferred the pocket to have been just a bit smaller as all I really need is enough room for a cell phone, whistle and maybe a package of hooks. I understand most people prefer more storage and that is fine. Far as fit and finish, this is well made with quality materials and I have no doubt it will last for a long time. Also, the Sturgeon is the most comfortable PFD I have ever used. I’ve been using it for several weeks now in the heat of West Texas, 100 plus. Temperature and it is no problem at all. I highly recommend this PFD!!! You won’t be disappointed!!

Great Vest

I got this early in the summer for paddle boarding - I don't' fish a ton, certainly not enough to need the pocket for gear, but the pocket is also great for dog treats when training them to be on the board. Love the side zip, easy on/off and is very comfortable. No chafing or discomfort with a day out on the water. Runs TTS

Bulkiness On The Side Makes It Uncomfortable

After decent online research including calling Astral, I ordered this vest - size M/L, my chest is 39” - with the primary purpose of paddling. I loved the large clamshell pocket and how ventilated it is in the back. The issue is that there’s a lot of material on the sides - a lot - making paddling and even walking quite uncomfortable. I don’t know if I should’ve gotten a smaller size or if this pfd just isn’t good for paddling - though when I called astral they said it’d work well.

Works Perfect For Me

I am 5'6" and this Astral medium/large PFD is a perfect fit. The quality is great and I can't imagine how it could be more comfortable. When fishing in my Old Town Sportsman PDL the Sturgeon's full length back is perfect for the seat. I highly recommend this lifejacket. for kayak fishig.
