DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Segmented Protection and Safety
This vest features strategically placed multi-layer segmented foams to protect your ribs and spine without restricting mobility. You'll feel the difference on impact: shocks are absorbed while your joint areas remain free, which is crucial for wakeboard sessions or when you take a tumble against your board.
Comfort and freedom of movement
The ultra-flexible neoprene construction and thinner panels make the vest very mobile. The ergonomic fit follows the body, allowing you to paddle or perform tricks without hindrance. We recommend this type of fit for long sessions or when you wear a harness over it.
Convenience of the Front Zip
The front zip makes it much easier to put on and take off, even at the end of a wet session. An internal flap protects the skin from direct contact with the zip, limiting irritation when you wear the vest for a long time.
Durable Materials and Finish
ION has worked on abrasion-resistant materials and reinforced seams to extend the vest's lifespan. The Tacky_Hem anti-slip interior ensures a secure fit during action, and the coating maintains its flexibility session after session.
