Impact vest DAKINE Shock Wing

Impact vest for wingfoiling and foiling Dakine Shock Wing Vest is a neoprene impact vest designed for wingfoiling and other foiling disciplines. It adds torso protection during falls and contact with your gear, while staying flexible enough for pumping the wing, shifting body position and moving freely on the board. The vest is CE 50 certified, which means it is designed as a buoyancy aid for users who can swim. It is not USCG approved and should not be treated as a classic life jacket. Protection with freedom of movement The vest uses 1" [2.5 cm] closed-cell foam padding, which helps absorb impacts and adds support on the water. The closed-cell structure does not soak up water as easily as standard foam, making it suitable for active foiling sessions. The super-stretch construction follows your body movement and keeps your shoulders and torso free. This matters in wingfoiling, where you regularly pump the wing, adjust your angle to the wind and use body balance when taking off onto the foil. Compatibility with a wing harness hook The Dakine Shock Wing Vest is compatible with a hanger wing harness hook, a hook used when riding with wing harness lines. The hook is not included and is sold separately. Thanks to this compatibility, the vest works well for more technical riding, longer tacks and sessions where you want to take pressure off your arms. The sliding leash attachment with Dyneema line allows for convenient leash positioning and more freedom during manoeuvres. The reinforced back panel provides extra support under load, which you will appreciate in stronger wind and during longer sessions on the water. Easy front entry A front zip makes the vest quick to put on and take off, even after the session. The close-fitting shape keeps the vest stable on the body, so it does not get in the way while pumping, carving or changing stance.
