DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
You'll feel this impact vest fit snugly over your wetsuit, with no bulk at the waist or under your harness. The internal grip strips stop it from moving around, keeping the vest securely in place when you're loading up the foil. The thermoformed foam absorbs impacts better than standard foam, giving you the confidence to push your limits.
Choosing the Right Size
Available in sizes S and M. We recommend trying the vest on with your wetsuit and harness to nail the fit: it should be close to your body without constricting your chest. The large armholes make it easy to get on and off, even with thermal layers underneath.
Construction and Protection
The core of this impact vest is made from thermoformed high-density foam, which provides a slim profile while maintaining effective protection. Two side pads protect your ribs, and the YKK zip combined with a double adjustment strap ensures a precise, stable fit during powerful maneuvers.
Practical Features
This vest features five different pockets to keep your essentials handy: a large zipped pocket, a back panel pocket, shoulder pockets, a knife pouch, and a line cutter area. The integrated Restube-ready patch allows for quick attachment of an emergency flotation device. The wide armholes and slim profile make it comfortable to wear with a harness and won't restrict your movement.
Use and Care
Built for heavy use, the YKK zip and straps are made to handle harsh marine conditions. To keep your vest in top shape, rinse it with fresh water after each session and let it air dry out of direct sunlight. We recommend checking the seams and the Restube-ready patch at the start of each season.
