Watersport Protection
Stay Safe While Enjoying Water Activities
Water sports are incredibly enjoyable, but not using the proper protection can result in serious injuries. The type of protection needed depends on the specific water sports activities you engage in. Our range includes protective gear for various water sports such as SUP, wakeboarding, and surfing.
Generally, it’s always wise to have a certified water sports helmet along with a life jacket or buoyancy aid. Keep in mind that hitting the water at high speeds can feel as hard as concrete, so watersports helmets are specifically designed to absorb such impacts.
If you’re into wakeboarding or kitesurfing, an impact vest is essential. Wakeboard vests minimize the impact on your body during high-speed crashes, helping to prevent bruises or more severe injuries.
Life Jacket or Buoyancy Aid?
They may look similar, but what sets them apart? Life jackets are designed to keep you afloat even if you are unable to swim or are unconscious. They feature a collar to support your neck and ensure your face remains above water.
Conversely, buoyancy jackets are designed for ease of swimming while wearing one. They are more suitable for gentler water sports and offer less buoyancy compared to a life jacket. In short, if you expect to be frequently in and out of the water, opt for a buoyancy jacket. For fast-paced activities where you don’t anticipate being in the water, choose a life jacket.
