ASTRAL BUOYANCY CO. LDB PFD

Carolina Blue
|
As inventors of the open mesh back PFD, Astral Buoyancy had to take it to the next level with the LDB PFD. This is the perfect PFD for Long Distance Boating...hence the name. Mesh-back jackets are inherently bulky and place foam high on the back creating a stuffy, not-so-fresh feeling. Astral Buoyancy's new foamless back, choice of materials, and superior tailoring allow for an unmatched level of comfort while wearing the LDB.
Great for recreational boating, touring, kayak fishing, or whitewater.
- Organic Kapok provides the most conforming fit of ANY buoancy material.
- Astral pockets stay low profile when not in use, and expand when needed
- High seat back- keeps upper back ventilated and the middle back supported
- Reduced R-value by minimizing the torso contacting surface. Great for warm climates
- Reflective trim and accents
- Internal hydration pocket
- Compatible with Booster attachment - when installed buoyancy jumps to 21 lbs.
