Vests

Impact protection vests for kitesurfing shield your core against hard water landings, board strikes, and the accumulated bruising of an active session in powered conditions.

Even without the buoyancy rating of a full life jacket, a well-designed impact vest makes a real difference to how your body feels after a heavy session. Segmented foam panels flex with your body through turns and jumps, then compress to absorb impact energy when you need them to. Neoprene backs add warmth as a bonus in cooler conditions, and slim construction means the vest disappears under a harness.

• Segmented foam panels: flex freely during riding, protect on impact
• Slim profile: disappears under a harness without bulk
• Neoprene back panel: adds core warmth on cooler water days

ION impact vests are a benchmark product in kitesurf protection — worn by athletes across every discipline from freestyle to big-air.
