Impact Vest











Presentation
This impact vest is perfect for winging, foiling, and tow sports.
It cushions and dissipates impacts while allowing for great freedom of movement thanks to the panel design.
The padding offers slight buoyancy, enabling you to pass under waves without resurfacing too quickly. The vest remains comfortable but does not replace a life jacket.
An additional padded area at the shoulder enhances comfort when carrying the board.
The 2mm neoprene provides extra warmth, allowing you to reduce the thickness of your wetsuit or wear the vest alone in warm weather.
This impact vest is available in two padding thicknesses:
- 12mm: For optimal protection while maintaining total freedom of movement.
- 20mm: For maximum protection with added volume.
Note:
This vest is not a life jacket nor full impact protection. It should be worn tight, as it will loosen slightly in the water.



Technical sheet
Impact Vest 12mm / S
- Neoprene thickness = 2mm.
- Composition = 90% neoprene and 10% nylon.

Buying guide
The XS size may eventually suit kids from 12 year old but please order with caution as it won’t be as adjusted as on an adult.
The impact vest must be very well adjusted as once in the water, it will loosen up slightly.
Our size recommendation chart takes this factor into account. If you are still not sure about which size is right for you, please reach out to our technical advisors.
Delivery
Delivery delay
We indicate a preparation and shipping time of 3 working days. In reality, the majority of orders are shipped within 24/48 hours.
The delivery time, i.e. delivery time of the package to your home, then depends on the delivery location and the carrier.
We work with reliable and efficient carriers. 99% of shipments go perfectly and quickly. In the case of the remaining 1%, rest assured that we will do what is necessary with the carrier.
Shipping fees
Unlike other sites, shipping costs are not hidden behind the price of our products. You know exactly what shipping costs you, and you are not disadvantaged if you choose to collect your order at our GONG Space Center.
Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and volume of each package, and your delivery address.
Tracking your package
Delivery tracking is managed directly by the carriers to whom we have entrusted your packages. They will contact you by email or SMS to allow you to choose delivery methods and follow the route of your package.
Carriers
We work with the best transport societies to deliver to you throughout Europe and the world within very short deadlines. We chose them for their quality of service and their compliance with deadlines.
For mainland France, 80% of your orders arrive at their destination in less than 48 hours of processing.
For Europe, delivery times vary from 3 to 6 working days, depending on the country of destination.
For the rest of the world, delivery times depend on transit time and customs clearance time. This delay depends on customs and can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the destination and seasonality.
Please note, transport time is added to preparation/shipping time. Two companies collaborate on your order (GONG and the carrier). Each one masters its activity and is committed to optimizing its deadlines so that you are delivered as quickly as possible and at a reasonable price.
Eco-responsible packaging
Preserving the environment is an absolute priority. This is why we do everything possible to reduce our ecological footprint.
