“I had one of these the first time round when it was made by HF. To be honest, at the time it was not my first pick (I wanted a Palm something) but it’s the best vest I have ever owned. It had been all around the world and all over the country and held up very well. Sadly it started wear out and there was nothing I could do but say goodbye. After a few years away from splashing about (mortgage and 2 kids) I thought I’d get back on it and started looking for a new vest. To my amazement I could buy a new Serpent vest, and I could get the blue one! (Back in the day the blue one was not available to just anyone) however I thought I’d stick with the yellow. I read the label and Astral have made hardly any changes other than a bit more buoyancy and a more eco version using ‘greener’ materials. When I look at it and put it on, it is the same. The only tiny difference is that on the old one there were two very small pockets on the outside of the chest pocket where I would keep my whistle in one and a Cadbury Fredo in the other, there not there any more. I wore the old one everywhere. I’ve abseiled into gorges, been dragged up and down rivers and looked good surfing in the South of France. I’ve not got round to doing all this with the new one but I can’t see a reason why this new vest wouldn’t be even better. To the old farts it’s cool retro, to the young bucks it’s cutting edge, so whatever you are and whatever you have planned this vest won’t let you down Thank you Astral for reviving a genuinely great vest with modern materials and not screwing it up Thanks very much Graham”
