PATLOVE Impact Vest Full Protection White
Full Protection Wingfoil Impact Vest
Product Overview
The PATLOVE Impact Vest Full Protection White is an impact vest designed specifically for wingfoiling and all foil sports, where frequent falls and impacts with the board and foil require higher torso protection.
The HQ neoprene construction and CE-certified EVA padding offer effective shock absorption, while maintaining great freedom of movement for wing strokes and pumping maneuvers.
Key Features
Full Torso Protection for Foiling
The protection wraps evenly around the chest and back, making it ideal for wingfoiling, where the torso area is exposed to contact with the board, foil, and water surface during falls and uncontrolled landings.
HQ Neoprene and EVA Construction
Soft and durable HQ neoprene combined with high-density EVA panels ensures a balance between comfort, flexibility, and absorption of impacts typical of foil sports.
CE Certification for Water Sports
The padding complies with CE standards for use in water sports, offering a level of protection suitable for intermediate and expert wingfoil riders who seek safety without sacrificing performance.
Ergonomic Design for Wingfoiling
The cut follows the natural posture of wingfoilers, leaving ample space for the shoulders and chest for wing movement and rotations during maneuvers, without interfering with rig handling.
Integrated Front Pockets
Two front pockets allow you to carry small accessories (keys, energy snacks, compact safety gear) without affecting the clean and snug line of the vest.
Recommended Use and Compatibility
Optimized for Wingfoiling
The PATLOVE Impact Vest Full Protection White is designed for intensive use in wingfoiling, where a dedicated impact vest allows you to tackle chop, waves, and aerial maneuvers with greater safety and comfort.
Perfect for Foil and Downwind
Full torso protection is also ideal for SUP foil, downwind foil, and surf foil, disciplines where falls can involve the board and foil unpredictably.
Use with Other Water Sports
The vest can also be used for kitefoiling and freeride sessions, offering versatile protection for those who practice multiple foil disciplines with a single technical garment.
Comfort and Fit
Snug Fit for Total Control
The snug fit keeps the vest stable on the torso even during pumping and jumps, preventing protection displacement and improving the feeling of control on the foil.
Freedom of Movement with the Wing
Shoulders, armpits, and chest area are constructed to allow you to move the wing freely, without hindering grip on handles or boom and without pressure points during rotations.
Soft Materials in Contact with Wetsuit and Skin
The internal finish reduces chafing on wetsuit and skin, making the vest suitable for long sessions typical of wingfoiling in variable conditions.
Technical Details
Materials
High-quality HQ neoprene with shock-absorbing EVA panels, for effective protection without weighing down the upper body.
Closure and Practicality of Use
The design allows for quick donning and doffing of the vest, simplifying preparation before the wingfoil session and changing after the outing.
White Color
The white color gives a modern and clean look, easily combinable with wetsuits and foil boards, with good visibility on the water surface.
Benefits for the Foil Rider
More Safety During Foil Falls
Full protection helps limit the effects of direct impacts with the board and foil, allowing you to focus on technical progression without fear of torso impacts.
Comfort During Long Sessions
Soft materials, stable fit, and lightweight design reduce fatigue and discomfort, making the vest ideal for downwind, wave, and long wingfoil sessions.
Single Garment for Multiple Foil Disciplines
A single impact vest that works for wingfoil, SUP foil, surf foil, and kitefoil simplifies setup, ensuring constant protection regardless of the discipline.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: Is it also suitable for windsurfing?
A: The vest is designed for wingfoiling and foil sports, but can also be used in other disciplines. However, the entire construction is designed for the specific needs of wingfoiling.
Q: Is it a buoyancy aid?
A: No, it is an impact vest for shock absorption. It does not replace a life jacket or an approved buoyancy aid.
Q: Can I wear it over or under my wetsuit?
A: You can wear it both over and under your wetsuit. Over the wetsuit it offers more external protection, under the wetsuit it improves stability and reduces water ingress between layers.
Q: How do I choose the right size for wingfoiling?
A: Choose the size based on your chest circumference and desired fit. For wingfoiling, a rather snug vest is recommended, which does not restrict breathing or arm mobility.
Q: Is it suitable for use in cold water?
A: Yes, in combination with the appropriate wetsuit. Torso protection helps reduce thermal shock from repeated impacts with cold water during foil falls.
Q: What maintenance does it require?
A: After each outing, rinse the vest with fresh water and let it dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the neoprene and padding.
