Astral EV-Eight PFD
Hot weather paddling calls for a PFD that actually breathes, and the EV-Eight delivers that better than anything else on the market.
Astral's patented Airescape technology sets this kayaking and fishing PFD apart from conventional foam designs. By pairing a high mesh back panel with an ergonomic foam layout, it creates real airflow between the jacket and your body, making a genuine difference on warm days when most PFDs feel suffocating. The breathable polyester mesh liner keeps things moving even when you're working hard on the water.
The bluesign approved 300D diamond RPET shell is made from 100% recycled polyester, making this one of the more sustainably built recreational PFDs available. That material choice doesn't come at the expense of durability either. The centre front zip entry with YKK self-locking Vislon teeth and heavy duty acetal hardware give you a secure, easy-to-use fit that holds up across seasons of regular paddling.
At just 553 grams, the EV-Eight is light enough to forget you're wearing it, which is exactly the point. With 16 lbs of buoyancy and USCG Type III approval, it covers recreational paddling, flatwater touring, and a full day of kayak fishing across Canadian lakes and rivers.
