Our founder introduced this style of PFD almost 20 years ago, and we’ve found that no other design conforms to a curvy woman’s body better. The hinged princess seams, boob cups, and super soft organic kapok create a special fit that women crave.

I purchased the Layla and I LOVE it! It is so comfortable and has a full zip to take on and off easier. I am 53 and 130 lbs and I purchased a small/medium. Fits great and is super cute!

As a newbie who loves to thoroughly research gear before buying I did a lot of work before purchasing the Layla. After sifting through specs, reviews, and talking to people it was an obvious choice to go with the Layla and Im so glad I did. Perfect for everything from my 21 day trip in the Grand Canyon to an afternoon of SUP. Absolutely in love with the comfort, fit, and versatility of the Layla!

I have the original design from over 20 years ago and I love it I've never found another one that fits quite the same about another brand before I realized that you had switched your name and we're remaking the design I'll definitely buy it another one of these I'd also like to see it with a shorter or thinner back so it doesn't ride up on my touring seat.

I had the original design of this jacket by Lotus for 20+ years. I was stoked to hear that Lotus had reemerged as Astral, AND that they had released an updated version of my beloved PFD. I am 5'7", 125lbs, with AA cups. I know this was designed for women with boobs, but my old one worked for 20 years and I have always appreciated the comfort of the curved seams and the ease of the side zipper. I ordered the S/M, and it is probably a tad big, because of the boob cups. On a recent raft trip, the jacket seemed to fit as it should when I wore a shirt or sweatshirt underneath. It was a tiny bit loose wearing just my swimsuit- I had to pull the shoulder and side straps as tight as possible. I wish they made this just a tad smaller or made an XS/S. Otherwise....absolutely stellar look and performance.

LOVE the Layla! I used to rock the old Lotus Designs, and it's great to see it come back around. The fit is very much women's specific, however even my male counterparts like the torso wrap/ low profile aspects and borrow it frequently! Using it with the QR belt is solid, too. I was a bit hesitant but for everyday simple rescue use, it's great!! As per usual, the bomber Astral materials and build are spot on and a great quality. The only issue I have is that the shoulder straps are loose- which as an instructor, means that throughout the courses as I move around, so do they... I wish that there were pockets to tuck them in like the YTV. A simple issue, but after a day of SWR or playboating instruction, it gets to be quite annoying. Aside from that, this is a great jacket!!
