Description

The Forward WIP Wing Impact EVO Vest is the most complete integrated wing-vest solution in this group. It is aimed at wing foilers who want real support, real protection and a tidier hook-in setup than using separate pieces of gear around the waist and torso. What makes it stand out is that it is not just a vest with a hook attached. The carbon-plate structure, reinforced support zones and integrated leash management all push it towards a more serious, more committed wing-specific product for riders spending a lot of time powered up.

Where It Sits in the Forward WIP Range

Within the Forward WIP range, the EVO sits above the Forward WIP Wing Impact Vest 50 N as the more advanced and more supportive integrated-hook vest. It also sits well above the softer Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest if you want a more locked-in feel. Choose the EVO if you want the most complete vest-and-harness style setup here. If you want something lighter, softer or less structured, one of the lower models will be the better fit.

Why Choose the Forward WIP Wing Impact Evo Vest?

  • Integrated carbon plate improves support and load transfer when riding hooked in.
  • High-density foam and side protection add confidence for harder crashes and faster riding.
  • Cleaner than running a separate harness over another vest.
  • Leash loops and smart pockets make it more practical for real wing sessions.
  • Exactly the sort of product experienced riders appreciate once they know what they want.

Helpful Reading & Buying Advice

FAQs

Who is the EVO best for?

Wing foilers who want the most supportive, most complete integrated vest-and-hook setup in this Forward WIP selection.

How does it compare with the Wing Impact Vest 50 N?

The Forward WIP Wing Impact Vest 50 N is already a serious hook vest. The EVO is the step up if you want more structure, more support and the carbon-plate concept.

Do I still need a separate harness?

For most riders, no. The whole point of the EVO is to combine protection, flotation and hook-in function in one cleaner system.

Specifications

  • Features

    Integrated carbon plate with ergonomic hook
    The big story here is load transfer. Rather than feeling soft and vague when you hook in, the EVO is designed to spread force more efficiently and feel more planted through your torso.

    High-density thermoformed foam
    This is what gives the vest its impact protection. It helps soften crashes without making the vest feel overly bulky or restrictive.

    Reinforced back pad
    This adds comfort and structure through the back, which is particularly helpful for riders spending long periods powered up on a harness line.

    Side pads for rib protection
    Falls in wing foiling are not always gentle. The extra side protection helps cover one of the areas riders most often knock.

    Integrated wing leash and board leash loops
    This makes the vest easier to build into a proper wing setup without having bits of kit fighting each other.

    Adjustable shoulder straps
    A better fit means the vest stays where it should and feels more secure when you are moving around on the water.

    Five smart pockets
    Useful storage is a real bonus if you want to carry small essentials without adding another piece of kit.
