Order the Astral Green Jacket LE4 today!

Alpenglow is now taking orders for the newest collection in the Astral Green Jacket. Call or email us now to order. Limited quantities. The LE4 is the result of a collaboration between the Astral design team and artist Meg Smith. Meg is the wife of Astral team paddler Jakub Nemec who hails from the Czech Republic, and he was inspirational in helping Meg with the aesthetic design. Meg (from the US) is a graphic designer and passionate kayaker with an eye for style. You can see more of her work here:

The LE4 brings a higher visibility option to the LE series that would make Kobe Bryant proud. We are using a combination of heat transfer and embroidery on the back and the front features a unique font created by Meg. Each LE sports an iconic figure, and this time “bootie guy” raises a toast to his swim.

This jacket is currently in production and we are building only 400 units total. Each jacket is hand crafted at the Astral mothership in Asheville, NC by our talented sewing staff.

Check out Chucks Villain in the Jackson booth @ OR!

Chuck's new Villain was the showcase piece of the Jackson Kayak booth at the Outddor Retailer show at the Salt Palace convention Center last week! Jackson built the boat to show off the new graphic possibilities for 2011. When it was built, EJ and the staff thought it was so cool, that they put it on a stand in the middle of their booth.

When I saw it there, I was psyched! It also has the Alpenglow Logo on the bottom of it. I know that I'm not a good enough boater to show off, but it's good to know that anyone will be able to order the boat of their dreams next year. I'm going paddling on the South fork or Canyon to break it in tomorrow. When you come in, check it out.

On another note, the new Hero Prototype looked really good. Making changes similar to the Funs' and Stars', it is shorter but faster, it will surface on drops quicker, be even easier to roll and be more comfortable.

Jackson Kayak is a great company to partner with. They are still family owned, have great employees, they are putting a ton of time and effort in to R & D, which is really paying off, and most importantly, are striving to make the sport of kayaking better by putting the customer first.

Thanks JK :)
