Prolimit Impactvest Ladies Flare Frontzip Black/Purple

Prolimit Impact vest Ladies Flare Frontzip is designed for kitesurfers, wind- and wingfoilers who want extra protection during jumps, water starts and touch-downs, without losing their freedom of movement. The women's fit fits nicely around chest and waist, keeping the vest stable during jibs, sprints and quick direction changes. The front zipper opens wide and closes flat, making donning and doffing easy even with cold hands and making the vest comfortable under a trapeze or jacket. Cushioned foam panels spread impact over a larger area and cushion hits when board or foil hits you; at the same time, the material breathes well and dries quickly between sessions. Armholes are generously cut for free reaching and running; the collar is softly finished so it doesn't rub against hood or wetsuit. Finish and stitching are designed to withstand sand, salt and lots of use, so the fit and support are maintained even after a busy season.

On Dutch water, you especially notice the peace and control this vest provides when the wind turns or chop increases. The panels stay in place without creeping up, which makes your hull feel more stable and allows you to sail longer relaxed. In wing and windsurfing, the low profile helps you stay close to the boom or handles without interference; in kitesurfing, the core remains supported during landings and short runs through choppy stern waves. Strategic drainage keeps the vest light after a dive, while the smooth exterior doesn't snag on lines or rails. Maintenance is easy: rinse briefly after sailing, drain and ready for round two. Please note that this is an impact vest and not a 50N-certified life jacket; it provides protection and some buoyancy, but does not replace an official auxiliary buoyancy device when spot or conditions call for it.
