Riding a hydrofoil across any discipline can go sideways in an instant. The Defender HF Impact Vest is engineered specifically for foilers who need "gladiator-level" protection against the unique risks of the sport. Whether it’s a wayward foil mast, a sharp wing-tip, or a high-speed board nose, this vest acts as a technical shield for your torso, ensuring a bad crash doesn't end your season.

Unlike bulky traditional vests, the Defender HF is optimized for mobility across kite, surf, windsurf, and wing foiling. The padding is logically mapped to stay out of the way during aggressive paddling and integrates seamlessly under a kite or windsurf harness. With internal shell technology reinforcing high-risk zones, you can push your limits with the confidence that your upper body is protected from impact-related injuries.
