DOWNWIND OFFSHORE Vest MANERA

Discover the OFFSHORE vest, created to enjoy long days on the water like never before!

This handy accessory lets you carry water, tools, your phone, a snack, safety gear and much more, thanks to its practical and accessible pockets.

The OFFSHORE’s fit ensures excellent freedom of movement and mobility in the upper body while at sea. Besides being comfortable and unobtrusive, it can carry an impressive number of accessories, even a wing!

Thanks to its two external straps, you can deflate it with ease. When you reach your starting point, sit on the board, fold the wing, open the two straps, and store the wing outside the bag. The wing’s bright colors also make you more visible from a distance.

It also includes two straps to secure the oar, for comfortable paddling.

Downwind SUP with foils is becoming increasingly popular, but the logistics of a downwind trip are complicated. Paddling upwind with a foil, deflating, and then paddling downwind and with the waves is now much more practical; no need for a car, the ability to choose the length of your downwind run, etc. For this reason, MANERA has created the OFFSHORE, a lightweight and practical life jacket adapted for this sport.

Note regarding SUP foiling downwind: There are hand pumps that can reinflate a wing in just a few minutes, up to 6-7 PSI. These are a safety feature in case of difficulties (for example, being unable to launch). They fit perfectly in the OFFSHORE’s pocket, and we have designed a nozzle to adapt these pumps to the valves of F-ONE wings.
