The industry standard in rescue vests. Tested in the world's most extreme environments, GreenJacket™ continues to set the bar in comfort, mobility, storage, security and performance. The most popular PFD for the world's best river guides and top paddlers. Swiftwater rescue training required.

Its the best for a reason, becoming almost an industry standard for rescue vests. This vest is on the river more than any other and provides all the elements needed for making your day the safest. Built to last and ready to send!

For most of my kayaking career I've worn and trusted the GreenJacket with my life. I really like the simplicity and the functionality of the design. I really appreciate how there is not too much bulk in the front of the vest as to make it easier to stay forward and to tuck up on larger drops. Last year I got knocked out on my home run while wearing my GreenJacket and I believe that it contributed to my friends being able to get me to shore and bring me back.

Amazing, this is my 4th green jacket and I am hooked with the simply lightweight design that is ultra durable and provides better range of motion than most other jackets. I use this for personal paddling, instructing, Swiftwater rescue, and it's multi purpose enough I even use it for recreational paddlingFor most of my kayaking career I've worn and trusted the GreenJacket with my life.

Best PFD Ever. The GreenJacket saved my life more times than anything else I own. It's comfortable, easy to adjust, and secure. I've swam nearly every big rapid in the Grand Canyon wearing this life jacket and never thought twice about being safe. I'll never purchase a different PFD. Thanks Astral!
