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

Urban Resilience. Pro-Tier Street Style.
The 2026 Follow Capiva in Stone/Black is more than an impact vest—it’s a performance statement. Constructed with Secureprene© Neoprene and Quad-S© (Seriously Soft-Super Stretchy) Neoprene, it offers unmatched resilience against the wear and tear of rails and obstacles while maintaining a "second-skin" feel. The street-jacket approach is visible in the defined lines and quilted detailing, which also serves to lock the Featherweight Foam in place for the life of the vest. Whether you're navigating the cable park on a wakeboard, carving sunset glass on waterskis, or soul-turning while wakesurfing, the Capiva Stone/Black delivers a high-end, distraction-free experience.

The Capiva Relaxed Fit Advantage
To provide the comfort needed for all-day lake sessions and the stability required for wakefoiling, the Capiva utilizes Follow's Relaxed Fit. This architecture features a more accommodating chest and armhole scale, allowing for maximum freedom of movement without the restrictive "boxed-in" feel of tighter fits. Supported by the TrueFit™ Liner, this vest molds to your core curves over time, providing a secure, predictable center of gravity and zero internal shifting 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

How does "Secureprene© Neoprene" help with cable wakeboarding? +
Cable parks are hard on gear—rails, kickers, and obstacles cause significant abrasion. Secureprene© is a textured, reinforced neoprene that is significantly tougher than standard smooth materials, making the Capiva an incredibly durable wakeboard vest that resists tears and scuffs while remaining soft and stretchy.
Is the Relaxed Fit too loose for high-speed waterskiing? +
No. While it offers a more accommodating armhole and waist scale, the TrueFit™ Liner ensures the vest stays suctioned to your core. It won't "parachute" at waterski speeds, providing the streamlined profile and rib protection you need for aggressive slalom carves.
Why is this Pedro Caldas’ choice for technical rotations? +
Precision movement. The Quad-S© Neoprene provides elite 4-way stretch, while the Quilted Detail ensures the foam never shifts internally during a hard landing. This makes the Capiva a "set-and-forget" wakeboard vest that won't move an inch while you're spinning or grabbing.
Does the streetwear design affect its performance as a wakesurf vest? +
Not at all—it enhances it. The street-inspired paneling is designed to hinge with your torso. In wakesurfing, where core rotation and crouching are frequent, the Capiva moves naturally with your body, offering the comfort of a high-end jacket with the technical stretch of a pro wakesurf vest.
