Here you can find the Mystic impact protection jackets and life jackets for both women and men for all water sports, Kitesurf, wakeboard and Windsurf. Compared to traditional 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 any accidental blows 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 the 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 Mystic impact jackets 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 women's impact jackets have a much narrower cut on the waist and in the part high impact have breast patches to make it much more comfortable. Mystic jackets are built with different closure systems, models have the front zip, others on the side and some models have no zip.
