Astral E-Linda PFD

FINAL SALE PRICING

A touring and fishing PFD that keeps you cool, organised, and comfortable across long days on the water.

The Astral E-Linda brings two meaningful innovations together in one recreational and touring PFD. The Thin-Vent Back design creates real airflow between the jacket and your back, addressing the heat and sweat buildup that makes wearing a PFD uncomfortable on warm days. Paired with a bluesign approved 300D diamond RPET shell made from 100% recycled polyester, it's a jacket that takes both comfort and environmental responsibility seriously.

The pocket layout is built around how paddlers actually use their gear. Multiple accessible pockets keep snacks, a phone, safety tools, and fishing accessories within reach without digging around, which matters when you're mid-stroke on a lake or managing a fish at the side of the kayak. Centre front zip entry with YKK self-locking Vislon teeth makes getting in and out straightforward, and the heavy duty acetal hardware holds up across seasons of regular use.

At just 463 grams, the E-Linda is one of the lighter options in its class. With 16 lbs of buoyancy from Gaia and recyclable PE foam, and USCG Type III approval, it covers everything from casual recreational paddling to serious touring on Canadian lakes and coastal waters.
