RIDE ENGINE KITE KNIFE

Essential flotation and impact protection for kiters and windsurfers, designed to be worn comfortably under your harness with a look that doesn’t scream “watch out for that kook.”

Riding a hydrofoil on any type of surf craft in any condition can go sideways quickly, making an impact vest mandatory equipment for most foilers. The Defender HF Impact Vest has been designed to give you gladiator-level protection from a potentially injurious board or foil strike to the torso. The padding on the Defender HF Impact Vest is logically located to allow for unobtrusive paddling and smooth integration under a kite or windsurf harness. Strategically placed internal impact-shell technology throughout the Defender HF Impact Vest shield your upper body from wayward foil points, board noses and other scar-producing dangers so you can ride another day.

The 2017 Ride Engine Atlas impact vest offers an extra boost of flotation and helps protect riders from the impacts of rough landings and the inevitable collision with features and hard objects. Made with premium limestone-based neoprene and free of toxic water repellents, the Atlast Vest is designed by some of the top pro riders in the world, including Felix Georgii and the Shredtown Crew.
