Impact Protection from Mystic

At Wetsuit Outlet, we are excited to give you a deep dive into impact protection from Mystic. Mystic's range of impact protection gear is designed to enhance your water sports adventures with advanced technology, exceptional durability, and innovative designs.

Whether you're an experienced kitesurfer, windsurfer, or a beginner, Mystic's dedication to safety and performance ensures you remain protected, agile, and at ease on the water.

Mystic Boarding was formed in 2002 by a diverse group of kiteboarders and windsurfers, who loved nothing more than pushing themselves to the limits of the sports but found that the existing equipment left them wanting.

Therefore, as only true innovators do, they began to design and develop their own equipment to better support themselves and their friends as they rode harder, faster and higher, breaking the boundaries in some of the most extreme conditions. 

In the 20+ years since then, Mystic has become a globally recognised brand, respected in numerous different watersports for the durability, quality and innovation found within all their products.

Impact Vests

As can be expected Mystic offer an extensive range of Impact Vests, with unique designs for both wakeboarding and kitesurfing to cover a range of budgets, rest assured you are always in safe hands with Mystic.

Innovative Technologies

Before we look at the range itself its best to understand some of the key features that maintain Mystic’s strong reputation amongst riders everywhere.

 

  

NBR Spine Protector

A unique innovation in impact protection, more rigid ‘nitrile-butadiene rubber’ foam is placed down key areas of the spine, withstanding greater forces and dissipating them throughout the adjoining padding. Offering better protect against big impacts and minimize potential injuries, whilst maintaining maximum freedom of movement.

Clash Foam

Mystic’s proprietary foam technology utilised throughout all vests for both wake and kite. With its unique cell construction maintaining a low-profile design that allows for greater mobility, quick drying times and most importantly provides great impact protection by better absorbing and dispersing the forces of an impact.

Fox Fleece

A high-end lining also found in Mystic’s wetsuits, due to its soft yet durable texture and superior capacity for multi-directional stretch. Structured around bigger loops creating a more extruded pile, this raised surface not only provides great insulation by holding a layer of air but by holding less water also allows for a much faster  drying time.

MX2 Neoprene

Mystic’s premium closed-cell neoprene built with durability and rebound in mind, delivering impressive stretch and flexibility for an enhanced range of motion.

YKK w/ Zipper Lock

All vests utilise premium stainless-steel zippers renowned for staying in closed despite pressures placed upon it, locked in placed with a push fit popper tab.

CE Approved

Mystic are one of the few companies that ensures their entire impact protection range is independently tested in Europe, meeting the compliance ratings required for health, safety and performance.

Wake Vests

Impact vests are a necessity in wakeboarding whether behind the boat or at your local cable park, reducing the force of impact from the water and/or obstacles yet still allowing for a great range of motion.

MX2 Neoprene lined with Fox Fleece maintains unrivalled flexibility and comfort, whilst also allowing riders to get on the water even in colder conditions. Zero padding in the very bottom inch creates a tighter fit locking the vest in place, meaning that no matter how heavy the crash the vest and its padding remain where they’re needed most.

Kite Vests

Traditionally impact vests were only used in wakeboarding however as kitesurfing has progressed and with the advent of foiling, more and more riders are choosing to wear impact vests to protect themselves and Mystic produce a range of specifically designed vests with minimal padding around the waist to allow a better fit with a harness.

Solace Vest

The latest innovation from Mystic allows watersports enthusiasts to take their phone wherever the water takes them thanks to a waterproof Fidlock pocket in the chest. The Mystic Solace also comes with a safety knife built into the design for easy access. Clash Foam panels of course protect the wearer upon impact and specially designed ‘grip-lines’ help to keep any harness in position. This new vest certainly offers the ultimate combination of convenience, comfort and safety.

Foil / Dusk Vests

Utilising robust NBR foam down the spine in combination with Clash Foam panelling, the Foil and Dusk vests are designed for specifically with added risks of foiling in mind but are equally matched for kitesurfing use. Top of the line MX2 Neoprene maintains stretch and flexibility, whilst the Fox Fleece lining makes it easier to ride in even the coldest of conditions. Lastly, silicone non-slip ‘grip lines’ adorn the bottom section of the vest to maintain the harness’ position.

Outlaw / Ruby Vests

Similar to their wakeboard specific counterparts, the Mystic Outlaw and Ruby Vests have a unique Clash Foam segmentation that prioritises flexibility without minimizing impact protection, for thinner profile that allows a tighter fit without any unnecessary bulk.

Block Vest

The Block Impact Vest will give you that extra bit of warmth thanks to the JAKO neoprene, but it doesn't hold back when it comes to impact either. This vest is made of Clash foam for extra protection, but is non-padded where your harness sits so it's still comfy to wear.

*Remember Mystic's vests are designed to fit snuggly; tight without restriction this helps the padding to stay in the areas it is designed to protect.
