hay gang,I have a Dakine Taboo waist harness,am I better off getting a Matrix impact vest to compliment my Taboo or spend the xtra $'s and purchase the combo impact vest/harness ?....yes I have asked for advice before but get a mixed bag of replies....BIG question is....does the combo want to ride up or is the Matrix impact vest a good choice to have with my existing Taboo?.....yes Echostorm your Dakine vest is the best fitting/quality/boyancy vest on the market,I have found,but also the most expensive...don't mind letting go of the money, (to my favourite kite shop), just want the thing to do the job i.e not ride up and be comfortable.....thoughts on the subject will be appreciated...Roo

Hay sorse,just sussed out the Mystic....it looks very similar to the Dakine equivalent.....yes looks very adaptable to a normal waist harness,keen to see in real at the kite shop,cheers

How much flotation do these impact vests give?

hay Bigwave D,it seems its all good regarding the Dakine style of impact vest,Echostorm stands by his and does a heep of wave kiteing,sounds like you aqree the same....for me a vest will give a little boyancy,protection and warmth so I am definately getting one.My local kite shop is helping me find the appropriate style and size but I do appreciate others views to help me see any pittfalls before I buy....Roo
