ACK Review
The Astral V Eight PFD Life Vest is one of the most ventilated jackets I have ever put on my body. The back is the most open I have seen without the front being overly cumbersome. There is a little more material under the arm than I normally like but in this case the trade off is a good one.

Review: I've bought 3 PFD's in 2 years, and this is by far the lightest, most comfortable... would highly recommend it!

Reviewer: Tom Rating: 5 Date: 06/02/2011
Review: Great life vest very roomy for paddling

Reviewer: Gary F Rating: 4 Date: 05/04/2011
Review: Not cheap but worth every penny. Well constructed. Perfect for hot weather kayaking.

Reviewer: Tim Rating: 4 Date: 04/02/2011
Review: I've only worn it once since purchasing, but here are my opinions as yet. The PFD fits well but has a slight tendency to ride up, so you must cinch the side straps tight. The high back is perfect for my 12' WS Pamlico seat, making my recent outing an enjoyable experience and allowing me to concentrate on fishing rather than being uncomfortable. The venting features in the front and rear seem to work well, but as my outing was on a temperate day, I'll be able to better report their function during warmer times. Overall, very happy with the purchase, and of course, ACK was impeccable regarding communication and quick shipping.
