The MANERA REACT Vest is MANERA’s new impact vest, designed specifically for kiteboarding. Inspired by the VAGABOND and its minimalist design, it focuses on the essentials: once your kite is in the air, nothing should distract you.
With its thin 15 mm foam layer, the REACT offers a perfect balance between protection and freedom of movement. Strategic padding effectively protects the torso and back, while leaving room for a harness. The lower part of the jacket is unpadded and unobstructed for the perfect harness fit and optimum comfort, even during long sessions.
