Guardian - (kite) foil suit - PRE ORDER

FYI: because of production setup costs PRE ORDERING is the only option at the moment (because we don't want to dissapoint people because of long delivery times).

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL TO GET HURT IN THE WATER!

SO, KEEP YOURSELF SAFE!

In cooperation with the Dutch Sailing Association, the Sailing Innovation Centre and the Dutch national Team, the WEEV Guardian cut resistant kite foil suit was developed to take the next step in athlete protection and safety.
Suitable for usage in all seasons and offering the highest protection textiles can offer you, this cut resistant impact suit is a base layer which will protect you the best way possible. In the cold you can wear it under your wetsuit and during summer periods you can do without a websuit.

FEATURES

The suit features cut resistant fabrics on the vital parts of the body and ergnomic panelling for optimum fit/stretch. Currently available to order in two versions:

• Impact vest version: our version with protection for arms and armpits, legs and groin. The torso of the body is fitted with lycra, because that part is protected by an impact vest.
  
• Full body version: our version which offers protection for the whole body. The torso also has cut resistant fabrics.

After the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris (from the 12th of August 2024) the professional version of the suit, with aerodynamic features will be available as well. If you are already interested, you can already order it in our shop as a PRE ORDER .

• CUT RESISTANT
• ABRASION RESISTANT
• ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT
• UV RESISTANT
• COOL TO THE SKIN
• SKIN FRIENDLY

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: Does the suit replace my current wet suit?
A: No, it's a base layer currently. We hope to develop a combination of a wet suit with integrated cut resistant features in the near future, but it's advisable that you use it as a base layer with your wet suit on top. Your wet suit will help protect during impact, because of it's 'springy' nature of the fabric / materials used.

Q: Does it soak in the water and become heavier? 
A: No, the suit has water-repellent properties and therefore absorbs minimal water

Q: For which season was the suit developed and can it best be used?
A: The suit wasn't developed for a specific season, but has heat protection in it. The suit is thin and the materials used don't heat up when exposed to the sun. In general we advise athletes to wear a wet suit on top, for the upmost protection.

Q: Does the suit limit my mobility during activities? 
A: No, the has been design to offer the best flexilibility and mobility possible throught the usage of ergonomic panneling and lycra additions for optimum fit. Apart from that advanced skin and usage comfort techniques have been used to seal and optimize seams ant stitches.

Q: Is the suit easy to put on? 
A: Yes! In order to increase the ease of use we have applied a front zipper.

As far as is known, the materials used do not cause allergic reactions on the skin.
