Description
Foiling, on any board and in any conditions, can go wrong fast, which is why an impact vest is almost a must. The Ride Engine Defender HF is designed to give you gladiator-level protection against a hit from the board or foil to the torso, with internal shells that protect against foil tips and board noses.
Who it's for
- Foil riders in kite, wing, surf and windsurf.
- Anyone who wants serious protection against impacts from the board and foil.
Features
- Designed for every foil discipline: kite, surf, windsurf and wing.
- Internal impact shells in the highest-risk areas.
- Well-placed padding so you can paddle unhindered and wear a harness over it.
- Heavy-duty YKK front zip.
Ride Engine points out that it is not a certified life jacket.
