Lifejackets: Lotus Design vs. Astral & How to properly fit a PFD

If you’ve always loved your Lotus Design lifejacket and were bummed that you could no longer find a new one on the market as yours aged, rest assured. Philip Curry who created the Lotus Design lifejacket also founded Astral. In the spring of 2019, Astral celebrated their roots with the Layla, a nearly identical version of the original Lotus Design lifejacket. I discovered this when my dog chewed a hole in the pocket of my beloved Lotus Design lifejacket. I was elated when I found the Layla…thank you Astral and Philip Curry for bringing back such an AWESOME lifejacket!!!!
