Astral Indus

High Floatation Whitewater Buoyancy Aid With Rescue Harness

The Astral Indus is a top of the line Whitewater buoyancy aid designed specifically for paddlers looking to tackle the toughest rivers and creeks. Fitted with 22lbs/97.86N of floatation, reinforced shoulder straps rated to 1100lbs/498kg, a quick release rescue harness and Astral's Flotection Back impact protection, this buoyancy aid provides all the best protective features in one place.

Getting a comfortable and personalised fit throughout the range of sizes is where the Indus really shines, it's progressive sizing uses unique foam sections for each size in the range to ensure an ideal fit. As well as foam tectonics which allows the individual sections of foam to slide over top of each other, the lower section anchors to your body to eliminate ride up with the upper section of the buoyancy aid moving with the body to give great freedom of movement. All adjustment straps on the Indus are placed low on the buoyancy aid, keeping them out of the way when paddling and reducing snag risks from excess strap in the event of a swim.

Designed to keep essential items close to hand without feeling bulky the Indus has an upper chest pocket and knife attachment point with knife pocket behind, 2 zipped side pockets and a section between the 2 foam plates that's perfect for keeping a sling or compact throwline. This design prioritises buoyancy over maximum storage capacity, and even increases ground and foot visibility, exactly what you need when scrambling over wet and slippy rocks to scout the next drop.
