Bought the WIP Wing Impact Vest for wing foiling. super happy with the fit and comfort. The neoprene covers over the adjustable shoulder straps have provided a place for my whistle and PLB1 epirb to be tucked and tied so they are not in the way, flapping about yet easily grab-able when needed. The wing on the front slide and board leash attached to the back seem to disappear from consciousness. Its a bit of a stretch for my old limbs to hook the board on to the back, and the side zip is taking a bit of getting used to - it further back than I would like. The harness hook doesn't get in the way when climbing onto the board and it isn't overly uncomfortable when paddling. The only real negatives that could be improved is there is no loop inside the front pocket to attach anything too - and the pocket is deep enough that small items that slide to the bottom are hard to get to. The pocket fits a large phone in a waterproof pouch easily, The second negative is the WIP Safety knif comes with velcro to attach to a pocket, but the WIP vest's knife pocket doesnt have velco to hold their knife, nor does it have a place to tie a knife into. I'm usually a L or XL in most clothing and the L fits comfortalbey with a 5/4 wetsuit on - there is good range of adjustment in the fit.
