Men's WAI-FLEX Impact Vest

Built for those who demand protection without sacrificing performance, the Men’s WAI-FLEX Impact Vest redefines what a modern impact layer should feel like. Featuring a 1.5mm neoprene core for buoyancy and core warmth, it delivers a true second-skin feel—moving effortlessly with you through every paddle, duck dive, and heavy landing.

What sets it apart is the polyurethane construction—significantly more durable and abrasion-resistant than traditional smoothskin neoprene—built to handle wax, boards, reefs, and repeated impact without breaking down.

Engineered for both floatation and protection, strategically placed impact panels provide essential cushioning where it matters most, helping absorb hits while enhancing buoyancy in the water. Using thinner SBR foam than our high surf impact suits, these panels maintain freedom of movement while delivering lightweight, low-profile protection.

Despite its performance-driven design, the integrated polyurethane windstop barrier traps heat where it counts, keeping your core warm without adding bulk. A smoothskin neck seal minimizes water entry, and the premium YKK KA rear zipper ensures easy entry and long-lasting reliability.

This is next-generation impact protection—ultra-light, ultra-stretch, ultra-durable, with added floatation and protection where it counts. Built for heavier conditions, higher consequences, and surfers who push the limits. Once you try it, there’s no going back.
