Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Astral BlueJacket Personal Flotation Device

This PFD features Astral's innovative Foam Tectonics system, which allows the external portion of the jacket to move with your body while keeping the inner panel snug. This design ensures optimal performance in intense situations. Additionally, the BlueJacket includes hook and looped straps to keep loose webbing tidy, preventing snagging on metal frames during chaotic moments.

The BlueJacket understands the needs of paddlers who embark on long journeys, rapid scouts, and portages. It is equipped with a back-mesh holster and a hooked sleeve to accommodate a hydration bladder, allowing you to stay hydrated on the go. (Please note that the hydration bladder is not included.)
