WIP Kompact Vest PFD 2.0 Impact Vest
Lightweight 50N impact vest designed for racing and harness use, delivering mobility, comfort, and certified buoyancy for foil and performance watersports.
The Forward WIP Kompact Vest PFD 2.0 is a performance-focused impact vest designed for competitive watersports where mobility, harness compatibility, and protection are essential.
Developed with input from elite international athletes, this updated version introduces refined design improvements to enhance comfort and performance during high-intensity racing. The vest is approved for use in classes such as IQFoil, Wingfoil, and Kite Foil where lightweight impact protection and certified buoyancy are required.
High-density thermoformed foam provides effective impact absorption while maintaining a slim, streamlined profile. This construction helps soften landings during crashes and manoeuvres without restricting movement.
Super-stretch neoprene construction allows the vest to move naturally with the body, providing maximum flexibility for dynamic racing environments. The foamless waist section is specifically designed to integrate comfortably with harness systems, allowing the harness to sit correctly without interference from bulky padding.
An anti-ride-up system keeps the vest securely in place during active sailing and foiling sessions, ensuring consistent comfort and safety. A practical chest pocket provides convenient storage for small essentials while on the water.
Certified to EN ISO 12402-5 with 50N buoyancy and impact tested to meet personal protective equipment standards, the Kompact Vest PFD 2.0 delivers the safety and freedom of movement demanded by modern performance sailing and foil sports.
