Hi guys,

I`ve seen an old thread about this but thought I`d revive the topic for 2016.
I like the O´Neill Slasher, which unfortunately seems to be discontinued in a lot of colours.
Which kite vests can you recommend?

Just buy a thick wakeboarding vest and mod it to suit your harness..

I like my Forward Sailing impact vest. Made to be used with a harness and 50N buoyancy so it counts as life jacket in WA. Slim fit with good padding.

NPX vests are one of the best - gives side protection to your ribs
A good impact vest also makes a great wetsuit a whole lot warmer - core temp is important !!
Look for a cutout to suit your harness hook

I've got a 2014 model of the LF impact vest. It's real good. Got a spare knife on it as well and can be turned inside out (so it's either teal or black).
