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: Every brand cuts their vests differently. Please review the specific size chart and fit notes above for this model.

Product Overview

Custom Tailored. Performance Driven.
The 2026 Ronix One in Black/Ash is built for the rider who wants their gear to feel like a high-end athletic suit rather than a bulky life jacket. Designed in collaboration with pro rider Tyler Higham, the One utilizes an innovative Engineered Mesh shell that is lighter, more adaptive, and more water-resistant than traditional neoprene. This is a pro-tier multi-sport tool, optimized to be the premier wakeboard vest, wakesurf vest, wakefoil vest, and waterski vest for the athlete who demands a weightless, anatomical fit.

The Manhattan Tailored Fit Advantage
To ensure the vest moves with you—not against you—the Ronix One features the Manhattan Tailored Fit. Inspired by high-end NYC tailoring, this design eliminates the common "gapping" and "bunching" issues found in standard vests. With Oversized Arm Holes for total freedom and Diamond Flex Foam that hinges 360 degrees around your core, the One provides a secure, "second-skin" experience across all towed water sports. Inside, the Silk Skin liner offers a friction-free feel, ensuring you stay comfortable from your first set to the last sunset.

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 the "Engineered Mesh" on the Ronix One feel different than standard neoprene? +
Traditional neoprene tends to soak up water and stretch out as the day goes on, often feeling heavy or "soggy." The Engineered Mesh in the Ronix One impact vest is a more stable, water-resistant fabric that sheds lake water almost instantly. This keeps the jacket at its original dry weight throughout your session, providing a much more "locked-in" and supportive feel for technical wakeboarding and high-speed waterskiing.
Will the lightweight design of the Ronix One sacrifice protection during a hard fall? +
Not at all. While the Ronix One is incredibly light, it uses high-density Diamond Flex Foam specifically siped to wrap tight to your body. Because the Manhattan Tailored Fit eliminates "gaps" between you and the vest, impact is dispersed across the entire foam surface. This makes the Ronix One a highly reliable wakefoil vest for those unexpected high-speed water "slaps."
I usually have issues with vests riding up; how does the Ronix One solve this? +
The Ronix One impact vest is designed with a Standard/Long Torso profile, cut roughly 2" longer than traditional competition jackets. When combined with the tapered waist of the Manhattan Tailored Fit, the jacket stays securely tucked against your waist. You won't have to constantly pull it down between wakesurf sets or while reaching for the handle on a waterski course.
Is the Silk Skin interior on the Ronix One worth it if I wear a rash guard? +
Even with a rash guard, the Silk Skin interior allows the Ronix One to slide over your clothing without "binding" or bunching. However, it’s a game-changer if you ride in just boardshorts. It is the least abrasive material in the industry, specifically designed to prevent "vest-burn" under the arms during long wakesurfing sessions or technical wakeboard rotations.
