"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""High-tempo strokes feel natural in this PFD. The Torso Lock fit keeps it anchored without squeezing, and the low weight makes it easy to forget you’re wearing it. The zippered pockets hold essentials without creating bulk.""Quick transitions between strokes, stance changes, and board movement call for a vest that stays stable without creating resistance, and the Astral YTV 2. 0 PFD is tuned for that kind of freedom. Its minimalist shape and featherlight construction allow arms and torso to move naturally, while the Torso Lock™ system keeps the paneling secure even during rapid acceleration or shifting water conditions. A recycled, bluesign®-approved shell sheds weight and maintains durability for season-long use. Two streamlined front pockets provide increased capacity for small essentials without disrupting body mechanics, supported by a hidden internal pocket for phone-ready organization. A knife tab sits in an intuitive location for quick access. With a pullover entry that keeps hardware away from the stroke path and shaping that stays stable during forward drive, the YTV 2. 0 PFD supports touring miles, whitewater lines, and SUP sessions with a clean, unobtrusive fit."
