Astral Indus PFD - Space Black M/L

The Astral Indus PFD - Space Black from Astral is a high‑performance whitewater life jacket engineered for paddlers tackling powerful rivers and high‑volume water. Built for athletes pushing the limits of modern whitewater kayaking, the Indus combines exceptional buoyancy with a streamlined design that supports aggressive paddling and technical river running.

At the core of the Indus is Astral’s FoamTectonics™ architecture, an advanced foam panel construction that strategically distributes buoyancy across the torso. This sculpted system provides enhanced comfort and mobility while maintaining high flotation levels, allowing paddlers to move freely when navigating demanding rapids and turbulent water.

With 22 pounds of flotation, the Indus delivers 33% more buoyancy than the renowned Astral GreenJacket PFD, offering additional lift and safety in powerful hydraulics and high‑flow rivers. This increased flotation makes it particularly well suited for paddlers who regularly run big water or challenging whitewater environments.

Finished in a sleek Space Black colourway, the Astral Indus PFD delivers a modern, minimalist look while maintaining the durability and performance expected from premium whitewater safety gear.
