SOORUZ - Men's Vest REAC BK - CE Approved PPE EU 2016/425
Zip, clack, you're off to the cable. The REAC BK hugs your body, absorbs impacts, and lets you ride freely on kickers and rails.
The vest that follows your ride, not the other way around.
On a slightly soft landing, you immediately feel the benefit of the 13 mm thin foam: it absorbs shock without restricting you. The 3D polyester jersey remains flexible and dries quickly between runs. And the central zip is the simple move to put it on in two seconds at the dock.
The fitted/slim fit cut doesn't shift when you pull hard on the tow. Well secured on the sides, the REAC BK protects where it rubs the most. You ride, it follows. Period.

What makes the difference?
Thin foam: Thickness of 13mm (1/2")
Responsive when you pop, comfortable when you land a bit flat. 13 mm of well-distributed PVC to absorb shocks without turning your torso into a rigid board.
Central zip
You get out of the water, you open it, it breathes. You go back to the start, you close it, and off you go. Simple and effective, even with wet hands.
3D polyester jersey
Flexible, pleasant on skin or wetsuit. No cardboard feel at the end of the session, even when your arms heat up.
Rib protection
On longer slides in the slider, you appreciate this targeted reinforcement. The sides stay secured, fewer surprises if it slips.
Fitted / Slim Fit
Nothing floats, nothing rides up. You keep your shoulder freedom to launch the spin, and the vest stays in place on contact.
Versatile riding
Born for cable wakeboarding, also mentioned for wing and kite. One vest, multiple playgrounds. If you prefer the colorful version, check out the SOORUZ - Men's Water Vest REAC GR or the black REAC variant.

For which rider?
For the one who goes kicker–rail–kicker at the park and wants a vest that hugs the torso, absorbs impacts cleanly, and never hinders the shoulders. If you also switch to a wing or kite quiver, it follows without hassle. You roll in S to XL: the fitted cut does the rest. The only thing that will squeeze more than your bindings is your smile on the first press.
