Essential Fit Guide

"IF IT ZIPS, IT FITS"

All vests must fit snug like a compression shirt. Neoprene is designed to expand when wet for a custom "wet-fit."

CURRENT SELECTION Impact Vests (NCGA) 10-15% Stretch

Will contour significantly after a few sessions.

Life Jackets (CGA) 8-10% Stretch

Less expansion due to thicker foam.

The Golden Rule:
If your vest zips up effortlessly on land, it is likely too big. A loose vest will ride up past your ears once you hit the water.

Pro Tip: Follow cuts their vests with precision. Please check the description for specific Relaxed or Tapered fit profiles.

Product Overview

Sustainability Without Sacrifice. Pro-Tier Performance.
The 2026 Follow P1 Traction in Black proves that you don't have to choose between the earth and your session. Featuring G.R.S Certified Recycled Chevron Polyester, this vest offers supreme 4-way stretch and a unique dot-point texture that provides elite durability. The Dual Layer Neoprene construction and Featherweight Foam ensure the vest remains the softest and lightest in your gear bag. Whether you’re leaning into a high-speed waterski turn, launching a technical wakeboard rotation, or finding the pocket while wakesurfing, the P1 Traction delivers a premium, guilt-free experience.

The P1 Traction Relaxed Fit Advantage
To provide the comfort needed for all-day lake sessions and the mobility required for wakefoiling, the P1 Traction utilizes Follow's Relaxed Fit. This architecture features a considered chest and armhole scale, allowing for maximum freedom of movement from the top to the bottom. Supported by the TrueFit™ Liner, this vest stays perfectly in place during deep-water starts and high-impact falls, providing a secure, non-restrictive "second-skin" feel across all towed water sports.

CGA vs Impact Vest — What is the difference?

Note: Some impact vests, like the Ronix Vader, look like a CGA vest with 3 points of contact (zipper + buckles) but are in fact Impact Vests. Always verify the safety rating before purchasing.

FAQ'S: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does using "Recycled Bottles" make the vest feel stiff or plastic-like? +
Not at all. The Recycled Chevron Polyester is specifically engineered for a supreme 4-way stretch that rivals traditional materials. It feels incredibly soft against the skin, making it an elite wakesurf vest choice for riders who want high-performance flexibility with an eco-friendly footprint.
How does the "Relaxed Fit" perform during high-speed waterski falls? +
While it is a more accommodating fit, the Dual Layer Neoprene and TrueFit™ Liner keep the foam locked to your core. It won't "parachute" or shift during a high-speed waterski set, providing the streamlined profile and rib protection you need for aggressive carves.
Why is Brian Grubb choosing the P1 Traction for wakefoiling? +
Precision and ethics. Wakefoiling requires a light, stable vest for micro-adjustments. The Featherweight Foam ensures the P1 Traction is one of the lightest wakefoil vests on the market, while the TrueFit™ Liner provides the predictable center of gravity essential for maintaining flight.
Will the dot-point texture of the Chevron Polyester hold up at a cable park? +
Yes. The Chevron Polyester weaving is specifically designed for high-density durability. It resists abrasion better than standard smooth neoprene, making it a rugged and reliable wakeboard vest for riders who spend their days hitting rails and kickers.
