The Wing Impact Vest from Forward WIP

[@andyfriedl3252]

Can you tell me how much this vest weighs, both dry and wet? One of the problems with all other vests on the market, including the Dakine Shock Vest that I currently use, is that they absorb a bunch of water and weigh as a ton wet. I’m hoping that this vest is better.

Looks good. Is there an easy way to move the hook out of the way if e.g. the wind drops and need to paddle back? I also windsurf - will a windsurf harness fit underneath?

[@paulshapiro6119]

I don't think you can adjust position of hook. (I have held and tried on this harness).

Just got mine, Size M, after trying out the Size L. It's a snug fit. Does it loosen up a touch over time? Size L felt bulky and a loose fit, hence downsized to M, but wasn't expecting to feel this smaller. Thanks!

How do you attach a leg leash to that little metal ring?

[@Djangoat68]

You don’t - need to buy a leash with carabiner at other end

awesome, how do the sizes fit, would it be doable to get one size larger so i can still grow and keep using the vest or is that not nice with the vest starting to become loose?

Hi, we would recommend getting the size that fits you best currently, as this will offer the most performance and impact protection from the vest. Hopefully within your local watersports community if you were to grow out of your vest then you could easily resell and invest in the size larger, later down the line. Regards, Tushingham Team

good features but sits much too high - above bellybutton offering no protection to stomach where foil is likely to hit if you fall forward - unlike almost all other competing products - also if you don’t have a perfect tight fit the buoyancy will push up the vest every time you fall - flawed design - quite unfortunate
