Astral Indus PFD - Red/Orange

The Astral Indus PFD - Red/Orange from Astral is a high‑performance whitewater life jacket engineered for paddlers tackling powerful rivers, high flows and big‑volume water. Designed to support the evolution of modern whitewater kayaking, the Indus delivers exceptional buoyancy, mobility and performance for demanding river environments.

At the heart of the Indus is Astral’s FoamTectonics™ architecture, an advanced foam panel system that strategically distributes buoyancy around the torso. This sculpted construction provides enhanced comfort while maintaining excellent freedom of movement, allowing paddlers to stay agile when navigating technical rapids and dynamic whitewater features.

Inspired by freestyle kayaking equipment, the vest maintains a performance‑focused, low‑bulk design that allows unrestricted paddle strokes and natural body movement. Finished in a high‑visibility red and orange colour combination, the Astral Indus PFD enhances visibility on the river while delivering the durability and safety expected from professional whitewater gear.
