Impact/flotation vest:
in all water sports it is
always advisable to make special attention to safety
aspects. We always suggest the use of an impact jacket in
high speed water sports such as kiteboarding, windsurfing,
wakeboarding, jetski, waterskiing etc. This impact vest is
specifically designed for kitesurfing and windsurfing,
water sports where you use a harness, but can be used in
all other water sports. It's key features are flexibility
and lightweight, so it is very comfortable. Besides being
obligatory in most beaches around the world, an impact
vest protects you from violent impacts with water or hard
objects on the beach (rocks; sand; walls; poles etc.) For
beginners it is very helpful when trying the first
waterstarts. As a beginner you will spend more time in the
water. The impact jacket will give you more buoyancy, and
help you waste less energy in swimming. The lower part of
the jacket is thinner so that is comfortably fits under
your harness. It has double velcro closure on both sides
and it can be worn both with a waist or seat harness.
Unique feature on this model is the system used to keep
the vest from riding up. Pass the two side straps under
your harness, clip the buckels
and tighten. The vest will keep low, as if it was part of
your harness. Even if these characteristics are specific
for kite and windsurfing, the
vest can be used for any other water sport. Even though
the impact jacket provides extra flotation, it has to be
considered a buoyancy aid (pfd) and not a life jacket.
