I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Astral Green Jacket Personal Flotation Device

The Astral Green Jacket Personal Flotation Device is an outstanding life vest that offers both innovation and comfort. Designed specifically for river guides and expedition paddlers, this PFD has been thoroughly tested in the most challenging paddling environments.

One of the standout features of the Green Jacket is the Tectonic foam panel fit system. This unique system allows the outer panel to move freely, maximizing mobility. Meanwhile, the inner panel remains securely planted against the wearer's body, ensuring that the PFD stays in place even during intense activities.

In addition to the excellent fit system, the Green Jacket also boasts several other practical features. It includes a quick-release harness stitched into the side of the vest, providing both integrity and convenience. The front panel offers rope-ready storage, and there are also side pockets for storing a throw rope.

Despite these numerous safety features, the Green Jacket remains low-profile and compact, ensuring that it does not hinder movement while paddling.
