Very comfy

I’m a dragonboater. My Layla PFD’s armholes are cut such that they do not interfere with my stroke at all. The off-set zipper and women’s cut lets it fit perfectly around my torso. I also like that Astral is responsibly environmental in their material selection.

Astral Layla and the Average/Long Waist Girl

If you like a high-waisted shorter torso jacket this is for you. Simply letting the shoulder straps out does not make it fit properly. If you like longer belly coverage, don't get it. The velcro zipper cover is cheap and loose. It does not prevent the zipper from pulling down. A better design would be to put a neoprene or nylon pocket for the zipper pull to insert into. The jacket itself is comfortable, and the front pocket large size is nice.

Comfortable and form fitting!

I’ve used my Layla 3 times now. I’ve found it to be quite comfortable and easy to put on/take off. I love how adjustable it is to make it conform to my body, and the pocket in the front is super convenient, whether I use it for snacks or holding my phone! Can’t wait to use it even more!!

My Personal Favorite PFD!

I bought mine two years ago and I love it so much, I've used and tried on quite a few PFD's as I work at a sporting goods store and this one has been my favorite. The fit is the best I have ever had out of all the PFD's. It is very comfortable and has a great range of motion while still feeling secure. The materials are super soft and comfortable while still being durable. I've had mine for two years and have seen no signs of damage or significant wear. The knife clip is in an inconvenient spot but if I paddle correctly it's not an issue. Overall this PFD is one of the best choices for any female paddler looking for a comfy vest for paddling!

Finally found one that fits!

This life jacket is exactly what I’ve been looking for. As someone with a larger chest, I love all the adjustable straps and flexible materials, it helps you get the perfect fit. I’m not the strongest swimmer so this gives me so much more confidence out on the water. Highly recommend this one!

Comfortable but rides up when floating

Don’t love it. Rides up when floating. Can’t seem to get it cinched enough to not do this. Is comfortable though.

Layla Jacket.

The Layla jacket fits great. The pocket is perfectly located and going over the head is not as hard as I thought it would be.

Comfortable, female specific design

Absolutely love this vest. It's by far the most comfortable PFD I've worn. I skiied, cliff jumped and boated in it without chaffing. Can't wait to try it out on the river. The pocket came in very handy as well!
