I thought I'd update this thread. Went with the Lunasurf SUP tail pad and deck pad combo. Super stoked on it!!

Mine also sits low, right around my lower rib cage. And all this is cinched down by another strap that goes through a buckle. Very nice design.
I didn't think this would work either but saw someone with one over a vest when visiting the Gorge last summer. Go to a shop with your vest and try one on. It works great. And the hook moves well too.

Alright I’ll go hunting for it!

Hmm, that wouldn't work for me. My WIP sits really low.

Ride Engine Vanaka Harness V2. Has a cumberbum like elastic sash that you can pull and velcrose to keep it tight around the vest.

I have the same vest as Walnut, the WIP. The other thing I like about it is that I can stuff my VHF radio in it and barely know it is there. I think the side zip with the cinching straps helps with that. Looking at the new WIPs, the hook looks like it cannot move which would be a negative for me. My harness fits comfortably over the WIP I currently have.

Which harness? I only ride that vest without a hook and have yet to figure out a way to add one to it and my harness doesn't play well with it. I would gladly update my harness instead of the impact vest.

I got mine from ProMotion in Hood River. It's the best I've tried by a long shot, and I've tried a lot. They're on sale for about half what I paid. They make a vest for wingfoiling, but this one is great. It has a cummerbund to pull the vest tight around your waist and make it easy to zip, then you can tighten the cummerbund a bit more and it won't ride up no matter what you do. I added belt loops and a belt for the NSI harness hook and bolted a kite recoil leash to the back. Having my leash and harness permanently attached to the vest ensures that I wear it. I've been using it for three years and if it comes apart I'll replace it with exactly the same stuff. https://stores.wetsuit.com/kite-vest-red-d51/
