Description

The "Daily Driver" for Kite, Wing, and Wake.

The ION Vector Element SZ (Side Zip) is the versatile "all-rounder" impact vest in the ION lineup. Positioned as the entry-to-mid tier "Element" model, it prioritizes a balance of reliable protection, easy entry, and price. While the Amp or Select models offer more specialized high-stretch materials, the Element is the rugged, dependable choice for riders who want peace of mind without the "premium" price tag.

This product sits in the protection side of the ION range, helping riders add confidence without making their setup feel bulky or restrictive.

Why choose the ION Vector Element Impact Vest SZ

  • Adds reassurance for progressing riders and anyone spending more time around foil, board or rig impacts.
  • Designed to protect without making movement feel overly restricted.
  • A practical confidence booster for riders building skills or pushing harder.

Specifications

  • Fit: Men's
  • Available sizes: 46/XS, 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, 54/XL, 56/XXL

FAQs

Is this a lifejacket?

An impact vest is not the same as a full lifejacket. A certified 50N buoyancy aid provides additional flotation, while an impact vest is primarily about protection, comfort and confidence. Choose according to the type of riding you do.

Who is this most useful for?

These products are especially useful for newer riders, foilers, schools, or anyone who wants a bit more reassurance when progressing or riding in more demanding conditions.

Specifications

  • Features

    Side Zip (SZ) Entry: The side-entry zipper design provides a "cleaner" front panel compared to front-zip models. This is particularly beneficial for Kiteboarders and Wing Foilers as it reduces bulk under the harness hook and prevents the zipper from digging into your chest during a crash.

    Segmented Padding: The foam is divided into specific ergonomic sections. This ensures that while you are protected from board or water impacts, the vest can still flex and "wrap" around your torso as you twist during maneuvers.

    PVC-Free Sheirex Foam: Uses high-density, environmentally friendly foam that offers excellent shock absorption while remaining lightweight and non-water-absorbent.

    L-Type Neoprene: A durable, standard-stretch neoprene that stands up well to the friction of a harness and the general wear and tear of saltwater environments.

    CE Standardized: All ION vests are tested and certified according to PPD89/686/EEC standards, ensuring they meet the safety requirements for impact protection (note: this is an impact vest, not a life jacket/buoyancy aid).
