Prolimit Impactvest Men's Fusion Full Padded Frontzip Black

Prolimit Impact vest Men's Fusion Full Padded Frontzip is made for kitesurfers, wind- and wingfoilers who want to move freely yet seek extra protection during jumps, water starts and touch-downs. The fully padded panels spread impact over a larger area and cushion hits when board or foil hits you in chop, while the supple neoprene moves with your body without chafing. The front zipper makes donning and doffing easy, even with cold hands, and lies flat so your trapeze doesn't dig into the vest. Roomy armholes and a low collar keep shoulders and neck free for running, pumping and reaching; the soft interior dries quickly between sessions. Strategic drainage zones allow water to drain right away so the vest stays light, and the neat finish with sturdy stitching is calculated for frequent rinsing in salt and sand-handy if you're putting in lots of hours.

On Dutch water, you'll especially notice the calmness and control the Fusion provides when the wind turns or waves increase. The fit fits securely around ribs and core, allowing you to sail longer stretches with less muscle tension and making landings feel more controlled. Under both a waist and seat trapeze, everything stays in place; the vest doesn't creep up on water starts, and the panels hold their shape when you ride harder. On the shore, use the flat exterior as a clean work surface to organize your lines if necessary; maintenance is no more than rinsing and draining. This is an impact vest: it provides protection and a little buoyancy, but is not a 50N-certified life jacket and thus does not replace an official auxiliary buoyancy device when spot or conditions call for it. So you get exactly the combination of cushioning, flexibility and practicality that you need most in changeable weather.
