Astral Green Jacket

Astral GreenJacket Rescue PFD

Looking for the ultimate whitewater rescue PFD? The Astral GreenJacket is a favourite among expedition paddlers, river guides, and rescue pros — and for good reason. It’s built tough, fits like a dream, and has all the rescue features you could need when things get serious on the water.

Whether you're running remote rivers or leading groups through technical rapids, the GreenJacket gives you the comfort, confidence, and storage to focus on your line — not your gear.

Why paddlers love it

• Built for the job: Designed with input from pro kayakers and rescue teams, it’s made to perform when the pressure’s on.

• Snug and secure: The two-layer foam system (Astral calls it “Techtonics”) moves with your body, so it stays put and feels natural — even when you're layered up in a drysuit.
