“Astral Buoyancy Co. Abba “”Organic”" PFD”
August 27th, 2006
“The Abba PFD by Astral is a new platform that fuses comfort, function, style, and sustainable technologies in a whole new way. The flotation in the Abba is provided by the white, fluffy seed covering in the fruit of the Kapok tree, a majestic tree that occupies an important niche in the ecosystem of a rainforest. Water-resistant and buoyant, kapok is a great natural alternative to the synthetic foams traditionally used in PFDs.

Lotus Designs P-Vest
August 18th, 2006
“The rescue-ready P-Vest by Lotus Designs is a high-stakes, high-water favorite of expedition paddlers, kayak instructors and safety boaters. It has an integrated chest harness, backed by a semi-internal harness with a quick-release cam buckle and stainless steel O-ring. The entire system adjusts easily and stays secure while you’re working a swift-water rescue. P-Vest pockets are big enough to accommodate the optional P-Vest Implant, which gives you an extra two-and-a-half pounds of flotation when the water gets really big. Thoughtful details on the P-Vest include an internal neoprene handwarmer pocket, two lash tabs, and reflective tape for visibility.
