Prolimit Impact vest Unisex Drift Wing is designed for wingfoilers who want extra protection for falls and touch-downs without losing their freedom of movement. The vest fits tightly around torso and ribs thanks to flexible, moveable foam panels that spread impact and reduce pressure points when sailing in chop or hitting the board during a failed jibe. The low collar won't chafe against wetsuit or hood, roomy armholes let you pump and reach uninhibitedly, and the smooth exterior won't snag on leashes or board edges. The fit is unisex and designed to be worn over a wetsuit; the inside feels soft and dries quickly after a dive. Closure and panels are positioned so that the vest can be worn under a waist or seat harness, with enough room around the belly to keep your stance and breathing free during longer stretches.
On Dutch water, you'll especially notice the calmness the Drift Wing brings during practice and progression. In gusty winds, your upper body remains better protected when foil and wing come together awkwardly, while the low profile doesn't disturb your balance during water starts or step-offs. The cut supports a natural stance during updrafts and downwind runs; on jumps, the vest cushions the initial impact so you're ready for the next attempt sooner. Materials and stitching are chosen for durability in salt and sun, maintaining shape and support even after many sessions. Rinsing is enough maintenance: just let it drain and the vest is ready for the next session. Please note that an impact vest is not a life jacket and does not have 50N certification. It provides protection and a touch of buoyancy, but does not replace the safety of a certified auxiliary buoyancy device when required by spot or conditions.
