EV-Eight Personal Flotation Device

Why We Love the EV-Eight Personal Flotation Device

The EV-Eight Personal Flotation Device is an innovative and eco-friendly upgrade to the world's first breathable PFD. This year's version features a new shell made from bluesign-certified recycled polyester, making it not only comfortable but also environmentally conscious. With Astral's patented Airescape technology and a high-mesh back, this PFD ensures optimal comfort at all times. Vent ports located at the front and back allow for the escape of trapped body heat during hot and humid river trips. The contoured foam and mesh liner promote cooling airflow, enhancing your overall comfort.

In addition to its superior comfort, the EV-Eight PFD is equipped with a soft EVA foam back panel that provides cushioning and support for your back while you kayak. Its expanding mesh pockets offer convenient storage options, allowing you to customize the vest to your liking.
