Impact vests are designed to provide added protection and comfort during high-impact watersports like wakeboarding, waterskiing, and foil riding. These vests offer flexible padding that helps absorb shocks from falls and landings while allowing full range of motion. Unlike traditional life jackets, most impact vests are not U.S. Coast Guard approved and are intended for experienced riders in controlled environments. They're a popular choice for athletes who prioritize mobility, lightweight design, and close-to-body fit during performance sessions. With top options from Radar, Ronix, and Follow, you'll find a variety of styles that offer protection without holding you back on the water. Be sure to check the product description to see if a vest is Coast Guard approved or impact-only.
