Presentation
This impact vest is perfect to use when winging, foiling and all towed sports.
The jacket has been thoroughly designed to position the foam in strategic places to limit the choc from falls.
The role of this jacket is to absorb and dissipate impacts so you don’t feel as winded in big falls. This cut out work of the dissipative panels enables the jacket to follow flexions and different body movement. It feels very free and doesn’t restrict movement.The 15mm foams enable a light buoyancy while allowing you to duck under waves for example, without coming up like a cork and getting swept away. It feels very comfortable without being a lifejacket.
The lateral zip allows for unparalleled comfort in use without the discomfort of a front zip when bending forward. And you don’t feel the zip in your throat ;). The side entry remains easy to put on and remove the jacket.
The scratch at the top of the zip ensures the slider remains shut during falls without being bulky.
The arms opening is important as it avoids any irritations should the jacket pull up a little . It also doesn’t cover the top of the hips to keep a svelte figure. The collar is also very wide to avoid any discomfort. The 2mm neoprene on this jacket will give you considerable extra warmth. You can lower the thickness of your wetsuit by a good millimetre, or simply ride with it and your boardshorts when it’s hot. This Impact Vest is perfectly compatible with the GONG Leash Belt which will fit over the vest.
Remember to size up on the leash ? The impact vest is designed for foiling, but can be used on or under a harness (depending on your preference), but don’t forget the extra thickness created
Equipment
This impact vest has been designed to give you maximum functionality and comfort.
Quality neoprene, comfortable hydrophobic foam and YKK zipper for durability. Scratches to keep the zipper closed even during violent falls.
