Hi guys,
On the market for an impact vest because I want to go further into freestyle.
Is it really useful ?
Somes are better than others ?
I'vs seen the Ion vector, Mystic force and Mystic shield.
Thanks.
I've got a dodgy rib at the moment and i rate this one

Surf with it too for flotation when it's big
I use a Neil pryde PFD and it makes a huge difference in a crash... Much less impact and keeps Me legal for any regulations...
On another note, I put my car key in the front pocket for safe keeping which works great.
Plus, it makes me look uber stylish!
hey mate I nearly always an impact vest now, if i no im going do be slapping some ocean. for big crashes doing loops and freestyle, I find it helps. i use a helmet also, call me soft but i cant afford to hurt myself now days.
Thx guys.
I just need to choose one now, my local get the Ion vector, any feedback ?

i've been doing a bit of research on impact vests for the same reasons as mentioned above, can't afford to injure myself anymore and have taken some good beatings on the ribs in the process of learning to kite ... and truth be told I always use a helmet, especially in winter. Hardest part is find a dealer who stocks them to try them out as I think it needs to put a good fit .. (I'm in WA). I looked at the North vest but it still seems to have padding where a waist hardnest would normally sit and ruled it out on those grounds. The models below seem to integrate better for a waist harness.
Another reason i'd like to try them on is to see what makes the LF vest so much more expensive.. feedback welcome if anyone has used these..
