Why We Like The Astral V-Eight Fisher Personal Flotation Device
Using Airescape technology, the V-Eight Fisher Personal Flotation Device takes the recipe of Astral's long-time best-seller PFD, and added some fishing-friendly features to keep anglers cool on the water. Vent ports at the front and back allow trapped body heat to escape during a muggy river trip, with contoured foam and a mesh liner that promotes cooling airflow. For further comfort, the vest is fitted with a soft EVA foam back panel designed to cushion your back against your kayak.

Perfect PFD
The Astral V8 is perfect for kayak fishing! The fit is like a glove, while still allowing for great air flow. The streamlined design of the Astral PFD’s makes it easy to paddle, cast a fishing rod, or even get back on the kayak in the event of an unexpected swim. I’ve used Astral products since 2014 and can attest to their quality firsthand. I wouldn’t be on the water without my Astral PFD.

After tons of research I finally settled on the Astral V-Eight Fisher. I live in the southeast and primarily kayak during the summer months. I wanted a vest that was comfortable during long days on the water and wouldn’t leave me sweating all over. This one has performed flawlessly over my 1 full season with it. It’s in perfect shape even though it’s had some hard days on the water. I’m more than impressed so far.

V-Eight Fisher
This model adds breathability to the fishing PFD range. The High Back design makes sitting in fishing kayaks a breeze and the tool organization is great.
