The new standard in ventilation and comfort. The V-Eight 4.0™ uses Astral's patented Airescape® technology to dramatically reduce the heat and sweat typically associated with wearing a PFD, so you can paddle longer without overheating. Contoured Fit™ super-soft Gaia® foam is sculpted for full mobility and prevents ride-up, while a high mesh back increases airflow further and pairs perfectly with high-back kayak seats. The Easy-Access Pockets™ — modeled after trail running vests — keep gear accessible with one hand so you never break your paddle stroke. Add knife storage, an integrated whistle, and a bluesign® approved recycled shell, and you have a life jacket that delivers modern comfort, premium fit, all-day performance, and organized storage.
