Description
Description
The Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 50N is a low-bulk wing foil vest for riders who want buoyancy support, impact protection and a built-in wing harness hook without the heavier feel of a full, structured impact vest. It is designed for wing foiling and parawing sessions where freedom of movement matters, but you still want a more secure, practical setup for longer runs on the water.
This is a good choice if you are starting to use harness lines, want to reduce arm fatigue, or prefer one clean vest-and-hook solution rather than wearing a separate harness over a buoyancy aid. The 2.0 version adds a higher hook position, back support pad and updated fit, making it more comfortable for sustained hooked-in riding.
Who is the Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 best for?
The Wing Neo Vest 2.0 is best suited to freeride wing foilers, progressing riders and parawing users who want a slim, flexible 50N vest with integrated hook functionality. It works especially well for riders who are beginning to hook into a wing harness line and want a less bulky alternative to a separate harness and buoyancy aid combination.
It may not be the best option if you want the most protective, structured vest in the Forward WIP range. For harder-charging wing foiling, powered riding or maximum torso support, look at the Forward WIP Wing Impact Vest 50N or the more premium Forward WIP Wing Impact Evo Vest.
Where it sits in the Forward WIP range
The Wing Neo Vest 2.0 sits between the simple, non-hook Forward WIP Flow Neo Vest and the more substantial Forward WIP Wing Impact models. Choose the Flow Neo if you want a slim neoprene 50N vest without harness hook use. Choose the Wing Neo Vest 2.0 if you want to hook in while keeping bulk low. Step up to the Wing Impact Vest or Wing Impact Evo Vest if you want a more supportive, protective feel for stronger wind and more committed foil sessions.
Why choose the Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 50N?
- Integrated 40 mm wing harness hook: lets you connect to a wing harness line without adding a separate waist harness.
- Higher hook position: improves alignment with wing harness lines and helps the vest feel more natural when riding hooked in.
- 50N buoyancy: certified buoyancy support for competent swimmers using the vest for active watersports.
- Impact-tested protection: useful padding for the knocks and falls that come with wing foiling and parawing progression.
- Super-stretch neoprene: keeps the vest close-fitting and flexible so it does not restrict pumping, flagging the wing or climbing back onto the board.
- Low-profile cut and wide openings: designed to preserve shoulder and arm movement during long sessions.
- Back support pad: adds comfort when loading the hook through a harness line.
- Two practical pockets: includes a large 3D expandable zipped pocket and a shoulder pocket for small essentials.
- Anti-ride-up harness loop: helps keep the vest sitting correctly when riding, swimming or climbing back on the board.

Important safety and setup notes
- The harness loop is designed to help reduce vest ride-up. Do not use it as a wing leash attachment point.
- Attach your wing leash to the shoulder strap or the side strap where the hook is mounted, depending on your setup and preference.
- The plastic hook may arrive clipped onto the loop for transport. It should be installed onto the webbing strap before use.
- This is a buoyancy aid and impact vest for active watersports, not a lifejacket for non-swimmers or emergency rescue use.

FAQs
Is the Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 a buoyancy aid?
Yes. It has 50N buoyancy and is certified to EN ISO 12402-5. It is designed for competent swimmers taking part in active watersports such as wing foiling and parawing.
Can I use it instead of a wing harness?
For many wing foilers, yes. The integrated 40 mm hook allows you to connect to a wing harness line without wearing a separate waist harness. It is intended for wing harness line use, not kite-style powered riding.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, particularly once you are starting to ride for longer periods or learning to use harness lines. Absolute beginners may not need the hook straight away, but it is a useful upgrade if you expect to progress quickly.
How does it compare with the Forward WIP Flow Neo Vest?
The Flow Neo Vest is the simpler non-hook option. The Wing Neo Vest 2.0 adds the integrated wing harness hook, higher hook position and back support for riders who want to take load through a harness line.
How does it compare with the Forward WIP Wing Impact Vest 50N?
The Wing Neo Vest 2.0 is slimmer and more flexible. The Wing Impact Vest 50N is more structured and protective. If you want low-bulk comfort, choose the Wing Neo. If you want more support for powered or high-impact riding, step up to the Wing Impact model.
Can I attach my wing leash to the ride-up loop?
No. The ride-up loop is not designed for wing leash attachment. Use the shoulder strap or the side strap where the hook is attached, depending on your preferred setup.
Does it replace a lifejacket?
No. This is a 50N buoyancy aid and impact vest for active watersports. It is not a lifejacket for non-swimmers, offshore emergency use or situations where a higher level of flotation is required.
