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.
Loved the fit, the first women-specific PFD I've ever purchased, and it was so comfortable. I also took a really "good" swim in a Class IV-V- and had to float the entire rapid in the water. I had one hairy moment stuck in a hole but I didn't doubt the vest for the second. It was also very comfortable for being hauled in.
Super comfy PFD! Almost forget I'm wearing one on the river. It fits in all the right places and doesn't make me feel claustrophobic when I'm sitting down.
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.”
