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

Eco-Conscious Performance. Deep Maritime Style.
The 2026 Follow P1 Traction in Ocean brings a deep, maritime aesthetic to the most sustainable vest in the line. Crafted using an average of 81.9 recycled plastic bottles, the Ocean colorway features G.R.S Certified Recycled Chevron Polyester for a supreme 4-way stretch. The Dual Layer Neoprene construction and Featherweight Foam ensure the vest remains the softest and lightest in your gear bag. Whether you’re navigating a slalom course on waterskis, hitting a kicker on a wakeboard, or carving an endless wave while wakesurfing, the P1 Traction delivers a premium, sustainable experience.

The P1 Traction Relaxed Fit Advantage
To provide the comfort needed for long 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. Supported by the TrueFit™ Liner, the vest eliminates internal foam-sliding and ride-up, providing a secure, high-performance center of gravity essential for maintaining flight on a wakefoil or landing technical tricks on a wakeboard.

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 the "Relaxed Fit" mean the vest will feel bulky during wakeboarding? +
Not at all. The "Relaxed" designation refers to the open chest and armhole scaling, which prevents that "choking" feeling. Because it uses Featherweight Foam, it remains one of the lowest-profile wakeboard vests available, giving you the freedom to move without the bulk of a traditional jacket.
Is the P1 Traction stable enough for high-speed wakefoiling? +
Yes. The TrueFit™ Liner is the key. Even with a more accommodating fit, the liner bonds the internal foam to the neoprene. This prevents the vest from shifting or "sloshing" as you pump the wakefoil, ensuring a predictable center of gravity throughout your flight.
How does the recycled polyester handle the high-speed spray of waterskiing? +
The Recycled Chevron Polyester is specifically woven to be impenetrable and durable. It sheds water rapidly and maintains its shape at waterski speeds, providing a streamlined profile and reliable rib protection without the restrictive feel of an athletic-only fit.
Will the Ocean colorway fade after heavy UV exposure? +
No. As a Project One™ product, the dyes used are high-stability and eco-friendly. It is an ideal wakesurf vest for those long, sunny afternoons; the deep Ocean blue is designed to resist fading and look crisp for seasons to come.
