Forward Wip Wing Impact Vest 50 N – Product Description

The Forward Wip Wing Impact Vest 50 N is engineered specifically for wingfoilers, foilers, windsurfers, and water athletes who want reliable buoyancy, freedom of movement, and high-impact protection without bulk. Designed for dynamic, high-energy watersports, this vest blends lightweight padding with an ergonomic, low-profile cut that lets you move naturally while staying protected.

Featuring a certified 50-newton buoyancy rating, the vest provides dependable flotation to keep you safe during crashes while maintaining a streamlined fit that won’t interfere with your harness hook or foil stance. Impact-absorbing foam panels protect your chest, ribs and back from hard falls, foil masts, booms, or board rail strikes — ideal for progression, jump attempts, or fast carving.

A harness-compatible design, combined with large arm openings, ensures unrestricted rotation and paddle movement. The quick-dry materials and reinforced outer shell are built to handle frequent saltwater use, making this vest durable enough for daily riders and school environments.

Whether you’re learning jibes, pushing jumps, or refining your upwind technique, the Forward Wip Wing Impact Vest 50 N delivers exceptional comfort, safety, and performance — giving you the confidence to ride harder and progress faster.
