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.

Follow Fit Architecture

1) Men's Relaxed Fit

The Follow Relaxed Fit is engineered for all-day comfort and a universal waist profile. Fitting true to your standard T-shirt size, this profile scales perfectly for the everyday rider. Available in sizes Medium to 2XL.

2) Tapered Fit

A refined, tapered chest combined with a slightly wider waist for a secure, locked-in feel that doesn't feel restrictive around the hips. Available in sizes Medium to 2XL.

Product Overview

Pro Performance. Toned-Down Aesthetics.
The 2026 Follow Total Mens in Dark Grey is the "sleeper" of the lineup. While it looks like a clean, classic neutral, it is packed with the same high-end features ridden by Joe Battleday. The Chevron Polyester shell provides an industrial-strength defense against abrasion, while the Dual Layer Construction ensures the vest doesn't hold water and "balloon" during high-speed sets. It’s a technical wake vest that appeals to a mass audience because it balances pro-tier protection with a sophisticated, matte-grey finish.

The Relaxed Fit Advantage
The Relaxed Fit in the Total series is about providing an elite experience for every body type. By utilizing a universal waist and standard chest-to-armhole scaling, it fits true to your premium T-shirt size. The key to its performance is the TrueFit™ Liner, which creates a natural bond between the Featherweight Foam and the neoprene. This prevents the vest from riding up or shifting during technical wakefoil pumps or deep-water wakesurf starts.

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

Why is this called the "Total" instead of the "Employee of the Month" now? +
The Total series is the refined evolution of that classic vest. We took the "Employee"’s rugged dependability and added the TrueFit™ Liner and Chevron Polyester to make it a more technical wake vest. It’s the "Total" package—pro features in a more approachable, everyday aesthetic.
How does the Dark Grey finish handle UV exposure on the tower? +
Dark Grey is one of our most resilient colors. Unlike black, which can eventually "ash" out into a purple hue, the Chevron Polyester weave in Dark Grey is treated with high-grade UV stabilizers to ensure the matte finish stays sharp even after a summer of being left on the boat tower.
Is the Total Vest actually worth the extra cost over a Corp vest? +
If you value a vest that doesn't "stretch out" over time, yes. In a standard wakesurf vest, the foam is loose inside the neoprene. In the Total series, the TrueFit™ Liner bonds them together, so the vest keeps its factory-new fit for twice as long as a mid-tier vest.
Can I use this impact vest for cable park riding? +
It’s actually our top recommendation for the cable. The Chevron Polyester shell is much more "rip-proof" than standard smooth neoprene, meaning it can handle the occasional brush against a rail or kicker without tearing your gear.
