Review by ALYSSA N. on 8 Jul 2024 review stating I was looking for a
I was looking for a low profile PFD and the Astral came highly recommended. It’s definitely a quality PFD with minimal bells and whistles, but I think they need to re-evaluate the size guide. I ordered a S/M. I’m 5’2, 16” torso (measuring C7 to iliac), 32” bust, 27” waist, 130lb athletic build and I had to tighten every single strap as tight as th...Read MoreRead more about I was looking for a low profile PFD
ey could go and I still wasn’t secure, rendering it useless safety-wise. In addition, since I max out the straps, my arms couldn’t rest flush to my body and it felt BULKY. It didn’t feel any lower profile than other PFDs I’ve tried. Went with a Stohlquist Betsea instead. Read LessRead less about I was looking for a low profile PFD

Comfortable
Review by Andrew K. on 29 Jun 2024 review stating Comfortable
I have the red color and it is very bright and visible —in its new condition, anyways. It is comfortable to wear, with plenty of room for arm movements. The relatively low/thin profile not only makes movement easier than “puffier” vests, but also allowed me an easier time entering my raft from the water after taking a swim (I.e., falling out and i...Read MoreRead more about I have the red color and it is very

Good life jacket
Review by Ryan C. on 15 Jun 2024 review stating Good life jacket
Very comfortable and fit quite well, read quite a lot of negative reviews about the pockets but this version 2.0 had large enough pockets for my iPhone 15 and case. Ultimately returned it to get the ev-eight, also from astral as it was amazingly breathable

Great whitewater/freestyle choice
Review by Jorge V. on 28 May 2024 review stating Great whitewater/freestyle choice
This is great, high quality pdf, but be aware it is very whitewater specific.The fit and finish and materials are really high quality and it has one of the best weight-to-buoyancy ratios for a non-inflatable. It has large and secure interior phone pocket at the top which is great if you are bouncing around white water. This pfd hugs your body tigh...Read MoreRead more about This is great, high quality pdf, but
tly and feels secure. But, for canoeing and flat water kayaking, you are probably better off with a more casual less streamlined design with more front organization and maybe a zippered front. This is an awesome pfd for whitewater but less practical for Algonquin or Temagami lakes. I bought the YTV 2.0 because it is very light and very buoyant for hiking + packrafting, but returned it because when I put it on, I realized it is less practical than I wanted for my activities. I am going to try an E-Ronny or a Ringo instead, even though they are slightly heavier and less buoyant than the YTV 2.0. Read LessRead less about This is great, high quality pdf, but

So much room to move
Review by Ronelle B. on 27 May 2024 review stating So much room to move
The YTV contours to your body making it ideally snug even on people with larger chests, like myself. The minimal design really appeals to me because the more pockets on a PFD, the larger it looks and I really appreciate this one’s lack of bulk. It’s easy to slip on over my head, and adjusts like a dream. I got the M/L and it fit perfectly.

Best low-profile PFD.
Review by Nicolas S. on 2 May 2024 review stating Best low-profile PFD.
This PFD has no bells and whistles, but is is comfortable and lightweight. Theonly downside is that you must put it on like a sweater since it has no buckles or front zipper. NOTE that the one I tried what not certified for Canada.
