Astral Indus Limited Edition: the High-Float Whitewater PFD in Collaboration with Benny Marr
"Designed in collaboration with whitewater kayaking legend Benny Marr and artist Anna Kai.
Benny Marr, one of the world's most renowned whitewater kayakers, and Anna Kai, a Pacific Northwest-based artist, originally connected through their shared passion for the element of water — its lines, its flow, and the magic it brings to both their lives."
The new Astral Indus life jacket offers approximately 30% more buoyancy than the Astral GreenJacket, without sacrificing the proven features of its predecessor. The pre-shaped foam structure moulds comfortably to the upper body, while the well-designed strap system allows individual adjustment — without annoying straps dangling in your face or at your hips.
The side entry makes putting on and taking off comfortable. All essential equipment fits in the side pockets, while the slightly smaller front pocket is more compact to accommodate the additional buoyancy. A rescue harness with quick release is also integrated.
The Astral Indus design, inspired by freestyle PFDs, offers maximum freedom of movement with the highest buoyancy — making it particularly suited for use in powerful whitewater.
