The WIP Impact PFD Vest – Forward WIP (Small / Junior) is purpose-built to give kids and junior riders the same level of protection trusted by the world’s best teams. Designed specifically for smaller body shapes, the shorter and more compact cut reduces bulk while maintaining full safety performance.
High-density thermoformed foam provides excellent impact and shock absorption, while integrated side pads add targeted rib protection during falls. The slim, low-profile design minimises windage and features wide arm openings, making the vest fully harness-compatible for foiling, sailing and kite disciplines.
Practicality is built in, with five smart storage pockets for tools and essentials, including a large zipped front pocket, rear pocket and shoulder pad pockets. Adjustable shoulder straps ensure a secure, comfortable fit as young riders grow, while a rear Velcro panel allows easy personalisation with a name or sponsor.
Certified to 50N buoyancy (EN ISO 12402-5) and impact tested to professional protective equipment standards, this vest represents 10 years of refinement and development. It is the benchmark junior impact PFD, trusted by leading teams and pro riders worldwide.
