I am using the ride engine defender hf.
Very comfy and integrates nicely with my waist harness.
When looking at impact vests, look for something that provides protection for your ribs on the sides. Many vests from the kite world omit this.

Your proposed fix may work, but is likely not a long term solution.
BTW, you need to glass over the holes you drill, not just fill them with epoxy

Since it is wave sailing season, I am currently going the way of the fin. In a couple of months when the surf goes away and the sea breeze kicks it it will be time for the foil.
