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?
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).
