Kite & windsurf vests

Buy guidance for kite & windsurf vests

Are you looking for a kite or windsurf vest? With the wide range you have come to the right place at Telstar Surf.

Everyone recognizes it, you land just wrong after a spin-out or jump. At first you think it's going to be okay. But when you are at home and at home laying down on the couch, you notice that your ribs are hurting. You took such a hard impact onto the water or  your boom that your ribs have a hard time recovering. Impact vests have been made to avoid this problem. The vests will absorb the biggest impact and thus limit the damage.

What to look for when purchasing a wind and kite surfing impact vest?

Type: There are two different types of impact vests. One specifically made for wakeboarding where the pads go all the way down, and one for wind and kite surfing. An advantage of the impact vests with pads completely down is that they offer more protection over your entire upper body, but this is very inconvenient and uncomfortable in combination with a harness. That is why there are also impact vests where the pads extend a little less far. As a result, your waist harness connects perfectly in combination with the impact vest. These are specifically intended as kitesurf impact vest and windsurf impact vest.

Gender: There are impact vests for women and for men. The biggest difference here is around the breasts and the use of other colors. Having a vest on of the opposite sex is not bad unless it feels bothers you. This may not feel comfortable and your performance and fun on the water will also be less.

Size: The size of an impact vest has a lot of influence on your performance. To choose the right size, you can visit the Telstar Surf shop or you can try out the vests yourself at home. Make sure you take a size smaller than your standard size of your t-shirt. This prevents the vest from crawling upwards.
