Product Information

Description

From Ride Engine

Riding a hydrofoil on any type of surf craft in any condition can go sideways quickly, making an impact vest mandatory equipment for most foilers. The Defender HF Impact Vest has been designed to give you gladiator-level protection from a potentially injurious board or foil strike to the torso. The padding on the Defender HF Impact Vest is logically located to allow for unobtrusive paddling and smooth integration under a kite or windsurf harness. Strategically placed internal impact-shell technology throughout the Defender HF Impact Vest shield your upper body from wayward foil points, board noses and other scar-producing dangers so you can ride another day.

Features
  • Optimized design and fit for all styles of foiling: kite, surf, windsurf and wing
  • Internal impact-shell technology located in high-risk areas
  • YKK heavy-duty front zip
  • WARNING: Not a USCGA Life Vest

Great, but heavy when wet

I have now been through Zhik, WIP, and now Ride Engine Defender HF impact jackets. The Ride Engine Defender is by far the best vest so far. Not perfect but the best I have used.
With the WIP I tore some rib cartilage on two falls in the same spot where there was not side protection. Real Nick said this is the way to go. Spot on.

Positives:
Ride Engine Defender it has far superior protections.
Fit is excellent, it does not move
Does not ride up
Not a problem on hot summer days
Color is good, but it has faded after 80 days use
Zipper stays in place with simple loop and snap

Negatives:
When wet it gains a lot of weight
No pocket, but easily solved with Spinloc pouch on my harness

Good product and will buy it again.
