Neoprene impact vest for water sports
Dakine Surface Vest is a neoprene vest designed to protect your torso during water sports. It works well for riders practising windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling or wakeboarding, especially when you want extra impact protection while keeping full freedom of movement.
The vest uses 1 1/4" [3 cm] closed-cell foam, which helps absorb impacts and provides protection during falls. Closed-cell foam does not soak up water as easily as standard foam materials, making it a practical choice for active sessions on the water.
Compatible with waist and seat harnesses
Dakine Surface Vest is designed to work with both waist and seat harnesses. This makes it suitable for different disciplines and gear setups, so you can add impact protection without changing the way you ride.
The super-stretch construction follows your body movement and allows natural rotation through the torso and shoulders. You will appreciate it when handling a kite, working with a boom, pumping a wing or making dynamic manoeuvres.
Easy entry and versatile sport design
The front zip makes the vest easy to put on and take off, even after a session. Its dual sport design gives it a versatile fit for water sports where protection matters, but the vest still needs to stay comfortable and low-profile.
Dakine Surface Vest is not USCG approved and should not be treated as a classic life jacket. It is an impact vest for swimmers who need additional protection and support during active riding.
