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.

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 Black Section vest fade in the sun? +
Follow uses premium Dual-Layer Neoprene with high UV resistance. While all black gear should be rinsed and dried in the shade to maximize its lifespan, the 2026 Section is built to maintain its deep matte black finish throughout the season.
Is the Black colorway hotter than the lighter colors? +
Because you’re in and out of the water constantly, the cooling effect of the lake negates any heat absorption from the black fabric. You won't feel any temperature difference between this and the Navy or Sage models.
How does the Black Section look in photos? +
Black is the "pro's choice" for a reason. It creates a sharp, powerful silhouette in the water and ensures the focus stays on your riding. It’s the most "stealth" look in the 2026 lineup.
Will this black vest show salt stains? +
Like all black neoprene, salt can show as a faint white residue if not rinsed. A quick spray with fresh water after your session will keep the "Stealth" look perfectly clean.
Does this vest come in a Small or 3X? +
