Lightweight, low profile, and close fitting, the Astral YTV is an ideal backcountry whitewater PFD.
Weight: ~28 oz.

Pure and simple, the YTV incorporates Astral’s freestyle inspired Torso Lock™ foam platform. A low-profile fit offers plenty of mobility to a wide range of paddlers. Its our preferred backcountry whitewater PFD, which makes it a great match for the Gnarwhal, Alpackalypse, and whitewater decked Alpacka Series. For harder whitewater, front country, and side country, we recommend getting a full rescue PFD like the Kokatat Maximus Centurion or Astral Green Jacket.
