IMPACT VEST | High-Performance Sailing Buoyancy Aid Agility. Protection. Innovation. Developed in close collaboration with elite technical staff at Veleria San Giorgio, the Impact Vest is the ultimate buoyancy aid for high-speed sailing. It isn't just a life jacket; it is a piece of protective apparel designed for those who push the limits in dinghies, catamarans, and foiling classes. The Graphene & Neoprene Advantage This vest utilizes cutting-edge materials to solve the age-old problem of bulk versus safety: Graphene-Printed CR Neoprene: The external shell is constructed from premium CR neoprene printed with graphene, enhancing the vest’s durability and thermal regulation while maintaining an ultra-sleek profile. PVC Foam Clusters: Instead of solid, stiff blocks of foam, we use strategically placed "clusters." This allows the vest to contour perfectly to your torso, moving with you as you hike, tack, and jibe. Ergonomic Freedom: The placement of the padding is specifically engineered to allow for unrestricted arm movement and a low-profile fit under a harness or over a wetsuit. Professional Certification The Impact Vest is more than a padded shirt—it is a safety device certified according to ISO 12402-5 standards. It provides the necessary buoyancy to keep an active sailor afloat while ensuring the vest doesn't "ride up" during high-impact water entries.

The VSG Impact Vest does both. It absorbs the "hit" during a capsize or a collision with the boom while providing the reliable buoyancy required for competitive sailing.
