Impact Vests
The windsurfing and wingfoiling vests are designed to protect your upper body and help you to stay afloat. Wearing a vest adds to your confidence and peace of mind while on the water. There are 3 different types of vests: Impact vest, Weight Race Vest and Floating Vest.
Impact Vests: A crucial layer of protection, absorbing shocks and reducing the impact force when you fall or have a collision during your windsurfing or wingfoiling session. It helps you to conserve energy and stay afloat.
Weight Race Vest: Designed for competitive windsurfers that look for extra control. The weight vest helps to create ‘back pressure’ so you can lean in and fully use the perfect gust to reach your new maximum speed record.
Floating Vest: Suitable for beginners or those who appreciate extra buoyancy. The floating vest is easy to put on and usually features adjustable straps.
