ASTRAL Information

Founded in 2002, Astral designs performance footwear, life jackets, and outdoor gear for paddling, hiking, trail running, and life on the water. From whitewater to mountain trails, every product is built to move naturally, perform reliably, and reduce its environmental impact. We believe the best gear should help people connect more deeply with wild places while leaving the lightest footprint possible. Astral has been a pioneer in sustainable product design, introducing innovations like PVC-free life jackets, hemp-based footwear, and low-impact materials without compromising performance. Our products are trusted by professional athletes, guides, outdoor educators, and everyday adventurers around the world. At our core, we're a community of designers, paddlers, hikers, runners, and river stewards who believe that time spent outside inspires better products—and a better future. Whether we're developing new materials, supporting conservation efforts, or collaborating with athletes pushing the boundaries of their sports, our goal remains the same: design gear that elevates the human experience in Nature, made consciously to preserve clean soil and water. If you're passionate about thoughtful design, outdoor adventure, and protecting the places we all depend on, we'd love to hear from you.
