DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Protection Built for Kitesurfing
The ION Ivy Front Zip impact vest is designed to absorb impacts to your torso and back while remaining discreet. Its segmented high-density foam limits the force from falls without adding bulk, so you can ride with confidence as you progress.
Harness-Friendly Design
We recommend this model if you wear a harness: the flat front panel prevents pressure points and discomfort under the belt. This lets you maintain solid contact with your harness and a natural stance while riding.
Comfort and Mobility
The stretchy neoprene follows your movements so it won't restrict your rotations or technical moves. The vest is lightweight and breathable, so you'll quickly forget you're even wearing it once the action starts.
Convenient Front Zip
The front zip makes getting the vest on and off easy, which is useful between sessions or when the wind conditions change. It also provides a snug fit without any complicated adjustments.
