Mercury Stretch Vest Half Padded Frontzip

FAQ

What activities is the ProLimit Mercury Stretch Vest Half Padded designed for?

The vest is designed for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and wing foiling and is worn in combination with a waist harness – ideal for conditions that require slim, flexible protection.

What padding does the Mercury Stretch Vest offer?

It is half padded in the front area. This places the impact protection where it is needed when kiting and surfing, while keeping the shoulders and back thin.

Why is the vest cut so short?

The short cut gives the waist harness room without riding up and ensures maximum freedom of movement during rotations, jumps, and foiling.

What does the Grip Wave Tech Zone on the back do?

A grippy Wave Tech Zone is located in the lower back area. It prevents the harness from riding up during the session – a clear advantage, especially during harder hits and body dragging.

How do you open and close the vest?

It features a YKK front zip that opens and closes smoothly and reliably engages even with wet or cold hands.

What sizes is the vest available in?

The Mercury Stretch Vest Half Padded is offered in several sizes, so you can choose the version that suits your body shape.

How do I properly care for the vest?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in salt water, let it air dry, and avoid direct heat or intense sunlight – this will keep the padding, stretch material, and YKK zipper functional for longer.

Who is the model suitable for – beginners or advanced riders?

Thanks to its comfortable stretch construction, half padding, and harness compatibility, the vest is suitable for both ambitious beginners and advanced riders looking for a lightweight, flexible piece of protection.
