Astral

Lonnie Personal Floatation Device

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Long sessions in the boat feel easier with this PFD because the ThinVent back stays cool against high-back seats, and the foam contours without getting bulky. The pocket layout is genuinely useful—easy to open with one hand and organized enough to keep a phone and essentials accessible."

Miles on the water demand a vest that disappears into the rhythm of paddling, and the Astral Lonnie PFD is built around that kind of freedom. Its articulated shape follows each reach and rotation, keeping bulk out of the way whether we’re cruising across open lakes or maneuvering rocky shoreline. The ThinVent back panel vents heat and pairs cleanly with high-back kayak seats, helping long stretches feel steady and comfortable.

Every detail serves real time on the water. Soft Gaia® foam molds naturally to the torso, and the contoured chest panel prevents ride-up when we shift positions. Easy-Access pockets—borrowed from trail running design—provide one-handed entry for a phone, snacks, or tools, while integrated features like knife storage, reflective hits, and a safety whistle support preparedness without clutter. Bluesign®-approved shell fabrics and recycled ripstop add durability and intention to a PFD built for season-after-season use.
