Cabrinha vests have neutral floatation. It supports itself & no more. They are very good in crashes though.

Hi mike

I have the Cabrinha Vest/harness and it certainly supports my weight. I'm 75kg dry. Very comfortable and doesn't ride up at all.
Well designed and protects ribs not like the Dakine and others that have a lack of protection on the ribs area. (this is important as this is where the pain area is)

But people are right. Gotta try it for yourself.
Friend of mine bought the wrong size and it rides up.
With Cabs you gotta buy it Snug.

Try it out, only you can make a decision on what's good.

I have the Cabrina Impact Vest only no harness fits great sits under my Dakin Fushion Harness I have no conplates. As my old one used to ride up Just got mine 2 weeks ago from Kite Power they have just come in

i dont wanna start a new thread, so i will hijack for a sec..

i got a cabrinha impact seat harness, i dont like it at all, very uncomphy in the painfull areas, so i am lookin at getting another one. is the Dakine Fusion any good? like its well priced, and looks comphy, but i have yet to try it on (nearest kiteshop is an hour away).

thanks for any help in advance.... back to normal thread....

i heard the impact very/harnesses are rather bulky to ride with, maybe a seperate harness and impact vest would do both and give u the freedom to remove the vest when u wanna cruise *dare i say it* topless.

like Mr Plow said, its personal preferance, so try b4 ya buy i spose..
