DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
You'll feel this vest stay snug against your wetsuit without ever restricting your movement. The internal grip strips keep it close to your body, preventing it from riding up or shifting when you accelerate or crash. Its low-profile design and large armholes leave your torso completely free to twist and pump. During hard-charging sessions, the high-density thermoformed foam absorbs impacts while maintaining a secure, compact feel.
Choosing the Right Size
With sizes from S to XXL, we recommend a close fit to ensure the internal grip strips can bond with your neoprene. If you're between sizes, go for the smaller size for a snug, no-movement fit, or choose the larger size if you often wear a thick wetsuit. The adjustment strap and YKK side zip allow you to dial in the perfect fit without getting in the way of your harness. Come by the shop, and we can help you test the fit with your own harness.
Construction and Technical Details
The vest's core is made of high-density thermoformed foam to absorb impacts while maintaining a low profile. A heavy-duty YKK side zip and two adjustment straps provide a secure fit and make it easy to get on and off. You'll find 5 pockets for storage, including a large zippered pocket, shoulder pockets, and a dedicated knife pocket. It also features attachment points for a line cutter and an integrated Restube-ready patch for quick connection when you need it.
Performance and Fit
On the water, the vest feels unobtrusive while providing solid back protection from impacts. The side pads cover your ribs without interfering with your harness, and the YKK side zip allows for quick entry and exit. The pockets and a dedicated knife pouch keep your tools accessible when you need them. Used by pro teams, this vest is built for high-intensity riding, maintaining a slim profile for technical maneuvers.
