Astral Greenjacket PFD

The Astral Greenjacket PFD from Astral is widely regarded as one of the most advanced and trusted rescue buoyancy aids available for whitewater paddling. Proven in demanding conditions by expedition kayakers and professional river guides, the Greenjacket combines high‑performance safety features with exceptional comfort and mobility.

Designed for whitewater rescue and expedition paddling, the Greenjacket uses Foam Tectonics™ technology, allowing the outer front panel to move freely with your upper body while the inner panel remains securely positioned. This design improves mobility, making it easier to paddle, swim and perform rescue manoeuvres.

At the core of the Greenjacket’s rescue capability is its integrated quick‑release rescue harness, tack‑stitched directly into the vest for maximum strength and reliability. The harness system allows guides and rescue professionals to safely manage tow systems and rescue operations on moving water.
