Astral YTV PFD-Cherry Creek Red-L/XL

Description

Astral YTV PFD-Cherry Creek Red-L/XL. The low-profile offers the ultimate mobility for a range of paddlers. Astral’s Torso Lock Foam Platform keeps the jacket snug around your torso as the rest of your body thrashes around. The YTV uses a combination of PE and Gaia foams for comfortable and earth-friendly flotation. Six adjustment points ensure a custom fit for a wide range of paddlers. Two generous zippered front side pockets as well as a knife slip pocket provide plenty of handy storage. The quick access lash tab keeps your knife close and ready to disengage at a second’s notice. This jacket carries the US Coast Guard Certification through testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Since the YTV has a pullover entry the US Coast Guard classifies it as a Type V jacket. Type V is their “special use” category and pullovers are lumped in there. Here’s what it says on the jacket: “This is a Type V PFD because it has restricted approval allowing it to be used as a Type III PFD only when worn. This device must be worn at all times in order to meet the U.S. Coast Guard regulations requiring PFDs to be carried.” Specifications for Astral YTV PFD: Manufacturer: Astral Chest/Body Size: 45 – 51 in PFD Fit: S/M 31 – 37 in M/L 38 – 44 in L/XL 45 – 51 in Application: Whitewater Kayaking Stand Up Paddleboarding Safety Kayaking Color: Cherry Creek Red PFD Size: Large – Extra Large Fabric/Material: Shell 200 x 400 Denier Ripstop NylonLiner 200 Denier High Tenacity Nylon Weight: 1.8 lb USCG Classification: Type III Buoyancy Rating: 16 lbs PFD Features: Rescue Compatible Lash Tab Features of Astral YTV PFD: Torso Lock fit platform keeps the jacket in place as you move Knife tabs quick access on chest 2 zippered front pockets and a knife slip pocket Featherlight construction everything you need and nothing you don’t Astral YTV PFD-Cherry Creek Red-L/XL
