Impact Vests for Kiteboarding by DaKine, Mystic, Neil Pryde, & NPX.
Impact Vests give you protection and floatation all in one stylish design that is made for the demands of kiteboarding. The floatation is very helpful for keeping your head above water during the water start. Also, a very smart thing to have anytime you are kiteboarding in water over your head! In addition, the materials used provide impact protection by absorbing the impact of the water instead of deflecting it. This saves you from the common rib injuries that occur when hitting the water.
Impact Shield Jacket by Mystic - has the maximum floatation and is the easiest to get on/off with the full zipper.
Force D30 by Mystic - has the lowest profile while maintaining high protection. Great for those wanting to wear a shirt over the vest!
Neil Pryde Marine High Hook Vest - Is the only rated to float you, even if you are unconscious. The most traditional design.
Impact vests give you the extra confidence you need when working on that new trick!
