The Combat Impact HS Front Zip is designed for riders who use a windsurf or kite harness. By removing the padding on the stomach and lower back, it allows for a seamless fit with your harness while still providing protection in key impact zones. Strategically placed, securely sewn pads across the chest, sides, and upper back shield you from hard impacts and potential contact with your foil or board. Built-in buoyancy adds comfort and confidence in the water. Your harness fits comfortably over the vest and will help to hold the vest down to keep it in the correct position while sailing or kiting.
