Astral Indus Buoyancy Aid

High performance & protection for demanding conditions

The Astral Indus Buoyancy Aid is built for paddlers who demand absolute confidence in challenging water. Designed with expedition-grade durability and an intelligent blend of comfort and control, it delivers a dependable balance of flotation, mobility and safety. Whether you're navigating whitewater, guiding groups, or pushing into remote environments, the Indus provides a solid platform that moves effortlessly with your body, even during long days on the water.

A key strength of the Indus is its highly ergonomic design. The foam panels are shaped to wrap the torso naturally, reducing bulk and allowing for unrestricted rotation—ideal for technical paddling or rescue manoeuvres. The supple materials, soft liner and carefully sculpted arm openings make the buoyancy aid feel secure without ever feeling restrictive. Once fitted using the multiple adjustment points, it stays locked in place, even through dynamic movement and rough conditions.

Practicality is at the core of its layout. The large, structured front pocket offers quick access to essentials such as snacks, radios, slings or throwline accessories, while internal organisation keeps everything stable and within reach. Additional attachment points and lash tabs allow paddlers to customise their setup for professional river rescue, touring or coaching environments. Combined with robust construction and abrasion-resistant fabrics, the Indus is built to withstand years of hard use.

For paddlers who need a buoyancy aid that delivers professional-level performance without sacrificing comfort, the Astral Indus Buoyancy Aid stands out as a dependable partner on every mission. It blends fit, safety and durability into a premium piece of kit that inspires confidence from the first stroke to the last.
