Impact waistcoat for wingfoilers: Endure Impact Vest from Mystic with harness hooks

Mystic presents the Endure Impact Vest, an innovation in the field of impact protection waistcoats for wingfoilers. According to the manufacturer, the waistcoat combines maximum impact protection with high wearing comfort. At the heart of the Endure Impact Vest is a specially developed foam that absorbs and distributes energy in the event of an impact. Mystic claims that this foam is significantly lighter than conventional materials, but offers a higher level of protection. The anatomically moulded construction is said to adapt perfectly to the body and be comfortable to wear even during longer sessions. Particular attention has been paid to comprehensive coverage in the back area in order to protect sensitive parts of the body in the event of a fall.

Harness, waist leash and protective waistcoat in one

The integrated wing harness hook is designed to prevent pressure on the ribs while ensuring comfort and freedom of movement. "It allows better rotation of the upper body during turns, transitions and when pumping the foil," promises Mystic. A fixed hook allows for quick and effortless hooking and unhooking while providing a direct feel for better control. The hook is attached with a Velcro system.

A waist belt is designed to hold the waistcoat in place and prevent it from riding up when the wing is pulled upwards. The shoulders are specially padded so that the foil with the mast can be placed there and worn comfortably. The Mystic impact protection waistcoat also has a strap to attach the leash of the wing

The Endure Impact Vest from Mystic will be available immediately from specialist retailers and via the manufacturer's online shop. It comes in three colours, six sizes and costs 219.99 euros. More information at mysticboarding.com
