The airflow channels keep heat from building, and the contouring sits close without restricting rotation. The pockets open cleanly with one hand, which makes mid-paddle adjustments simple.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong stretches on warm water call for a vest that stays cool and unobtrusive, and the Astral V-Eight 4.0 PFD is built with exactly that purpose in mind. Airscape technology directs airflow through the front panels to reduce heat and manage sweat, creating comfortable conditions during steady touring, afternoon fishing sessions, or quiet paddles along sheltered banks. The high mesh back aligns naturally with high-back kayak seats, maintaining ventilation and comfort even when the pace slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft Gaia foam follows the torso’s shape, helping the vest stay stable during rotation, edging, and corrective strokes. Easy-Access pockets—adapted from streamlined trail-running designs—keep small essentials available without interrupting the paddle cadence. A bluesign-approved recycled shell adds durability and environmental intention, while hydration-ready lashing points and safety-oriented details round out a design ready for long days on moving or flat water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLight, breathable V-Eight 4.0 PFD enhances stability and fit in warm conditions (DWGC8VT)\n                \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003e\n                    \u003cstrong\u003eTECH SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlotation \/ Buoyancy: 16lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: zippered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePockets: 1 zippered chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaimed Weight: 1lb 6.4oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: [face fabric] 300D x 300D 100% recycled polyester ripstop, [lining] 200D 100% high-tenacity nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponsible Collection: Recycled\/Repurposed, Bluesign Approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivity: paddling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSCG Type \/ Level: Type III\u003c\/li\u003e\n                \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                ","brand":"backcountry","offers":[{"title":"S\/M \/ Eggplant","offer_id":54215177371953,"sku":"DWGC8VT","price":98.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9133\/1121\/files\/12594670486a05b4ef08d3d.webp?v=1778786104","url":"https:\/\/geartrade.com\/products\/v-eight-40-personal-flotation-device-eggplant-sm-good-1683431","provider":"Geartrade.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
