DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Protection tailored for kitesurf
The ION Ivy Front Zip impact vest absorbs impacts on your torso and back while remaining discreet. Its segmented high-density foam minimizes the impact of falls without adding bulk, so you can progress with confidence.
Flat surface for harness compatibility
We recommend this model if you wear a harness: the flat front avoids pressure points and discomfort under your waist. This ensures good contact with your harness and a natural riding position.
Comfort and mobility
The stretchy neoprene moves with you, so it won't restrict rotations or technical maneuvers. The impact vest remains light and breathable, so you'll quickly forget you're wearing it once you're in action.
Practical front zip
The front zip makes it easy to put on and take off, which is handy between sessions or when the wind changes. It also ensures a snug fit without complicated adjustments.
