The detail

About this impact vests

A slimmer vest for riders who want some protection but find a full impact vest too bulky and hot. The thinner foam layer still absorbs meaningful energy from board strikes and flat landings while staying low-profile enough to wear underneath a steamer in winter. A pullover cut with a short side zip keeps the front clean, which suits riders who dislike a zip sitting under the harness. It offers less coverage than a full vest, so committed freestyle riders should size up to the thicker option. Popular with foilers, who mostly want protection from the mast and wings rather than from heavy landings.
