The NeilPryde Combat Impact HS Front Zip vest is made for riders who use a harness – whether windsurfing or kitesurfing. By removing the padding on the stomach and lower back, the vest integrates seamlessly with the harness, avoiding pressure points or shifting. Protective panels in key zones – chest, sides, and upper back – effectively absorb impacts and shield against contact with the board or foil. The front zipper ensures quick entry and proper fit, while the integrated buoyancy adds security in the water, making it easier to swim back to your gear and climb onto the board. When the harness is worn over the vest, it keeps the vest securely in place for the entire session. The Combat Impact HS Front Zip is a practical and reliable piece of protection for demanding riders.
