| I got it just before we left for the Wildside relay. I admit to feeling “validated” when Greg Barton showed up in the exact same PFD. | I got it just before we left for the Wildside relay. I admit to feeling “validated” when Greg Barton showed up in the exact same PFD. | ||
| - | Heather bought a Mocke recently, and those are quality as well. The biggest obvious differences are that the Mocke is a pull-over vest, and the Astral is a front zip. Also, the Mocke has a big front and bigger back center pocket. The Astral has a smaller front side pocket that would hold a smaller VHF, and an even smaller upper front pocket that’s for things like chapstick, a whistle, etc. I don’t have an accurate enough scale to weigh them, but I would estimate the Astral is 25-40% lighter than the Mocke. This is just my estimate by picking them up. | + | Heather bought a Mocke recently, and those are quality as well.

| I used the Astral on the 24 hour paddle and had zero chafe – something that’s been hard for me to achieve over the years. It also save my bacon 2 or 3 times when I went for a swim. J They’re $105 through REI, so with your membership discount you’re under $100. | I used the Astral on the 24 hour paddle and had zero chafe – something that’s been hard for me to achieve over the years.
