Ronix Driver's ED Capella 3.0 Teen's CGA Life Vest

At 90 lbs, he is at the perfect "crossover" point. If he has a longer torso, the Driver's Ed is the better choice because it offers the Capella 3.0 cylindrical fit which prevents the vest from "riding up" into his chin. However, if he is shorter/stockier, the Youth (50-90 lbs) size may still provide a more secure cylindrical wrap until he hits a true growth spurt.

Ronix engineered this specifically for active riders. The foam is 2 inches thick in the chest for maximum buoyancy and safety, then tapers to 1 inch at the waist. This "Driver's Ed" design allows a teen to bend at the waist easily—critical for grabbing a wakeboard or sitting comfortably in the driver's seat—without the vest "bunching up" in the front.

Yes. This vest uses Nature's Neoprene paired with a Water Resistant Liner. While cheap vests soak up lake water and get heavy and saggy by midday, the Driver's Ed sheds water. This keeps the vest lightweight for the rider and ensures it’s dry much faster for the next session.

Surprisingly, yes. Because of the Capella 3.0 construction, the vest features Supportive Back Foam. It acts as a light lumbar support, which is a game-changer for teens who are spending hours on the boat or behind the rope, helping to reduce fatigue during a long day of riding.

While it is technically Coast Guard Approved for anyone in the weight range, the Driver’s Ed is tailored for a more "V-shaped" masculine torso. For teen girls in this weight range, Wakesports recommends looking at the Laguna or Prom Queen series, which are tailored specifically for a feminine frame.
