What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've used the Green Jacket on multi-day raft trips and rescue trainings-it's my go-to for big water. The fit stays put no matter what, and I always know my gear is secure and within reach. Nothing beats the confidence this PFD gives me."From high-volume rivers to remote canyon runs, the Green Jacket from Astral has become the standard for serious paddlers and rescue professionals. Purpose-built for whitewater and swiftwater rescue, this Type V life jacket offers an unmatched balance of comfort, mobility, and safety features, allowing us to paddle hard, stay focused, and respond fast in emergencies.

With reinforced shoulders rated to 1,100 pounds, a quick-release harness, rope-ready storage, and Web-Toe(TM) integration, this vest proves its worth in real-world rescue scenarios. The Clamshell Pocket(TM) gives us organized access to essentials, and the FloTechtion(TM) back panel protects our ribs during impacts. Built with Gaia(R) and PE foam, Cordura(R) shell, and stainless hardware, the Green Jacket is engineered for guides, paddlers, and river pros who won't compromise on safety.
