WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 50N

The Forward WIP Wing Neo Vest 2.0 50N is a low-bulk wingfoil vest for riders who want buoyancy support, freedom of movement, impact protection and a built-in wing harness hook without the heavier feel of a full, structured impact vest. The 2.0 version adds a higher hook position, back support pad and updated fit, making it more comfortable for sustained hooked-in riding. Try it on at our QMSC base and you will be impressed!

Who is this impact vest for?

• Freeride wingfoilers, progressing riders and parawing users looking for a slim, flexible, 50N (EN ISO 12402-5), super-comfortable impact vest with integrated hook functionality
• Wingfoilers starting to use harness lines to reduce arm fatigue
• Wingfoilers requiring a simple vest/hook solution rather than wearing a bulky harness and buoyancy aid combination

Alternatives

Whilst this is a great product, it may not be the best option if you want the most protective, structured vest in the Forward WIP range. For harder-charging wing foiling, powered riding and maximum torso support, look at the Forward WIP Wing Impact Vest 50N or the more premium Forward WIP Wing Impact Evo Vest.

Technical features

• Integrated 40 mm wing harness hook: to connect to a wing harness line without adding a separate waist harness
• Higher hook position: improves alignment with wing harness lines and helps the vest feel more natural when riding hooked in
• 50N buoyancy: certified buoyancy support (EN ISO 12402-5) for competent swimmers using the vest for active watersports
• Impact-tested protection: useful padding for the knocks and falls that come with wing foiling and parawing progression
• Super-stretch neoprene: keeps the vest close-fitting and flexible so it does not restrict pumping, flagging the wing or climbing back onto the board
• Low-profile cut and wide openings: designed to preserve shoulder and arm movement during long sessions
• Back support pad: adds comfort when loading the hook through a harness line
• Two practical pockets: includes a large 3D expandable zipped pocket and a shoulder pocket for small essentials
• Anti-ride-up harness loop: helps keep the vest sitting correctly when riding, swimming or climbing back on the board

Important notes

• The harness loop is designed to help reduce vest ride-up. Do not use it as a wing leash attachment point
• Attach your wing leash to the shoulder strap or the side strap where the hook is mounted, depending on your setup and preference
• The plastic hook may arrive clipped onto the loop for transport. It should be installed onto the webbing strap before use
• This is a buoyancy aid and impact vest for active watersports, not a lifejacket for non-swimmers or emergency rescue use
