Ride Engine Foundation 50N Impact Vest

Impact vest with 50N buoyancy from Ride Engine

When you're far from shore with a foil under your board, you want to know you'll stay afloat if things go wrong. The Ride Engine Foundation 50N Impact Vest gives you 50 newtons of buoyancy, certified to the EN ISO 12402-5 standard. That saves a lot of energy when you have to swim a fair distance or gather up your gear. Ride Engine developed this vest specifically for wind and foil sports, so for downwinders, wing foiling and kitesurf sessions where you push your limits.

The vest is fully adjustable. With the double webbing straps around your torso and the refined shoulder adjustment, you pull it snug to your body. That keeps it in place during the moves where it really matters, like paddling, stowing your parawing or bodydragging for a while. No more vest riding up into your neck.

There's an easy-access pocket on the front, and two storage pockets in total for your stuff. The vest is hydration bladder ready, which comes in handy on long missions when you're out for hours. Use the shock cord to attach an extra storage bag for your parawing. Note: this is not a USCGA-approved life jacket.

Heading further offshore than you can swim back, or just want more confidence when trying new things? Then the Ride Engine Foundation 50N Impact Vest is a smart investment.
