ION Collision Core Vest Front Zip

The ION Collision Core Vest Front Zip Men is a straightforward, dependable impact vest for riders who want proper upper-body protection without overcomplicating things. It is a strong choice for wakeboarding, cable sessions and general watersports where extra confidence through the chest and back makes a real difference. The front zip makes it easy to get on and off, and the overall feel is secure, simple and ready for regular use.

Within the ION vest lineup, the Collision Core sits as the more accessible full-torso option. It gives you solid coverage, easy entry and a clean, close fit at a sensible price point. If you want a vest that does the job well without chasing the lightest or most technical construction, this is the right place to start. If you want something more flexible and more specialised for harness use in wingfoiling or kiting, it is worth looking at the ION Vector Impact Vest Amp FZ or browsing our wider impact vest range .

This product sits in the protection side of the ION range, helping riders add confidence without making their setup feel bulky or restrictive.

FAQs

An impact vest is not the same as a full lifejacket. A certified 50N buoyancy aid provides additional flotation, while an impact vest is primarily about protection, comfort and confidence. Choose according to the type of riding you do.

These products are especially useful for newer riders, foilers, schools, or anyone who wants a bit more reassurance when progressing or riding in more demanding conditions.
