VAIKOBI IMPACT VEST, GREY NZ | Underground Surf

The Vaikobi V-Impact Vest is a high-performance impact protection vest designed for riders pushing speed and progression on the water. Ideal for foiling, kite surfing, and PWC use, this slimline front-zip vest delivers confidence when crashes are part of the game. With a close-to-body fit, segmented foam panels, and flexible neoprene, it moves naturally with you while helping reduce impact-related injuries. If you want protection without sacrificing mobility, this vest is built for exactly that.

When things get fast and technical, freedom of movement matters just as much as protection. The Vaikobi V-Impact Vest, available now at Underground Surf NZ, is engineered to keep you agile, comfortable, and protected during high-impact sessions.

So what makes it stand out?

• Impact-tested protection: Designed specifically for high-speed water sports like foiling, kitesurfing, and PWC riding.
• Stretch-fit comfort: Soft, segmented foam and premium neoprene create a flexible, body-hugging fit that moves with you.
• Strategic buoyancy placement: Foam panels are optimised for impact absorption and flotation without bulk.
• Chest & back protection: Smooth-profile panels absorb hits while maintaining full mobility.
• Harness-friendly design: Removable lower torso and spine padding allows a clean, tight fit with waist harnesses.
• Perforated neoprene: Drains water quickly so the vest stays light while riding.
• Hydration-ready: Large rear pocket fits a 1L hydration bladder, plus secure chest pockets for essentials.
• Front zip entry: Heavy-duty zipper for easy on/off and a secure fit every time.

Whether you’re boosting higher, foiling faster, or charging harder, the V-Impact Vest helps you ride with confidence. And with fast NZ-wide shipping from Underground Surf, you’ll be geared up and ready to go sooner.
