I don’t know why these are not more popular. I had an ion impact vest which would ride up badly on my pencil like body. The forward WIP I’ve used half a dozen times now and it fits great, doesn’t ride up and having the additional hook for a harness line is very convenient as Ive been able to just take it off until I’m ready to use a harness line. There’s also a webbed loop below the hook that I attach my wing to and it works great ! My only piece of advice would be the security of leaving my car key in the zip section. I absolutely love it there on the front but it should have a loop sewn inside the pocket like on my boardshorts to clip the keys to for extra piece of mind. Other than that I think it ticks every box for me !!
