No other design conforms to a curvy woman’s body better. Layla™ features hinged princess seams, sculpted chest cups, and super soft organic kapok that creates a comfortable side-entry fit.

Comfortable enough to be PJs... Okay, maybe not quite that comfortable. After a 35-year hiatus from water sports, I needed a life jacket. I bought the Layla, and I plan to wear it for my Viking funeral when I am sent out to sea and my kayak lit on fire. I love it that much. It is so comfortable, I don't bother taking it off when we come ashore for lunch. Kudos on crafting the perfect woman-specific fit and offering that fit in fabulous colors.

WOMEN'S FIT

Hinged princess seams, sculpted chest cups and super soft organic kapok provide a custom female fit.

“Against some stiff competition, the Astral Layla is our favorite choice for a women's-specific PFD.”
