Description
Whitewater athletes continue to progress the sport on larger volumes and higher flows. With 22 lbs of flotation sculpted into Astral's industry-leading FoamTectonics™️ architecture, the Indus™️ is the world's first freestyle-inspired high float life jacket. That’s a 33% increase in flotation over the legendary GreenJacket™️ for those drawn to big water. Made with PFAS Chemicals.
With 22 pounds of flotation, the Indus offers a 33% increase in buoyancy compared to the iconic Astral GreenJacket PFD, providing additional lift and support in heavy hydraulics and high‑volume rivers. This increased flotation makes the Indus especially well‑suited for athletes who regularly paddle big water or challenging whitewater conditions.
Finished in a high‑visibility red and orange colour combination, the Astral Indus PFD enhances visibility on the river while delivering the durability and safety expected from professional whitewater gear.
