Astral Sturgeon

Ever been fishing and forgotten which pocket you’ve put your pliers in? Or where your phone is this time? With the Sturgeon, Astral have solved your problems by consolidating five pockets into one enormous clamshell style pocket. This might sound confusing, but when the pocket itself can be used as a shelf, and with the level of internal organisation that Astral have included, it’s easy to find anything you need.

Now, some things need to be accessed one handed, and as quickly as possible. With this in mind, the Sturgeon has a tool stow, a knife pocket, and a lash point. These can be attached onto the PFD, leashed to d-rings, so that if you do let go, you won’t have to watch your pliers sink to the bottom of the lake.

One look will tell you that the Sturgeon is well thought out for fishing, but it’s so much more than that. This is a PFD which is comfortable and ventilated enough to wear all day, even in the warmest conditions. The Thin Vent back keeps you cool on the water, and stops you getting pushed out of your seat as you paddle. The Sturgeon is made from foam which contorts to your body shape, giving you all the movement you need for paddling and fishing.
