Ion Life Vest & Impact Vest

In the vast catalogs of ion products, life jackets and impact vest could certainly not be missing. Here you can find the impact protective jackets and life jackets of Ion for both women and men for all water sports, Kitesurfing, wakeboarding and Windsurfing. Compared to the classic life jackets, impact jackets do not have buoyancy approval so they do not give you support, their purpose is to protect you simply when you fall or from accidental accidental hits with the equipment; the advantage is to have a jacket that remains firm on the body without bothering the harness if it is used for sports such as kitesurf or windsurfing, which instead the approved life jacket that we all know once worn, moves a lot and is quite annoying if used with the banded trapeze. Between the impact kitesurf / windsurf and wakeboard jackets the difference is simply that the impact from kitesurf / windsurf do not have padding on the abdominal and lumbar part as the trapeze will be positioned in this area (a padding underneath could be annoying ), while the wakeboard ones, which can be used for the other two sports if you wear the seat harness, are fully padded to the bottom, to protect you from falls on the pits or rails inside the parks. The choice of whether to take one or the other is up to you ..... from how safe you feel in the water, what we can advise you as a shop, is definitely to stay on approved buoyancy aids if you are a beginner or are approaching for the first time to these fantastic sports, in order to always feel safe throughout the session. The difference between the impact jackets of Ion for men or women lies in the cut with which it is made, the men's jacket has a fairly straight cut on the body, while the impact jackets for women have a much narrower cut on the waist and in the part high impact have breast patches to make it much more comfortable. Ion jackets are built with different closure systems, models have a front zip, others on the side and some models are zipless.
