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

Massi Style. Manhattan Precision.
The 2026 Ronix Purple Haze is a performance masterpiece that doesn't take itself too seriously. Featuring a lightweight design with 4-Way Stretch materials, this vest is built to handle the most contorted grabs and rotations without restriction. Like the top-tier Ronix models, the Purple Haze is Stitched by Robots to ensure every flex zone is perfectly aligned for 360-degree mobility. Whether you are throwing technical spins behind the boat on a wakeboard, carving sunset glass on waterskis, or soul-turning while wakesurfing, the Purple Haze provides a "fun-first" experience without sacrificing pro-level protection.

The Manhattan Tailored Fit Advantage
To deliver a flawless wrap that stays put during high-impact sets, the Purple Haze utilizes the Manhattan Tailored Fit. This design ensures the Flex Foam conforms to your core without the "gapping" found in standard vests, which is critical for maintaining balance while wakefoiling. With Oversized Arm Holes and a Standard/Long Torso profile, the Purple Haze provides maximum range of motion and abdominal coverage, ensuring your vest stays tucked in and comfortable through every session.

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

Is the 4-Way Stretch in the Ronix Purple Haze flexible enough for technical wakeboard grabs? +
Definitely. Massi Piffaretti designed the Ronix Purple Haze impact vest specifically for creative rotations that require total torso flexibility. The high-grade 4-Way Stretch ensures the jacket moves with your muscles rather than against them, making it a high-performance wakeboard vest that won't "bind" or restrict you when you're reaching for a technical grab.
Will the vibrant colors of the Purple Haze impact vest fade after a summer on the boat? +
No. Ronix utilizes UV-stabilized materials for the Purple Haze Men's vest to ensure the "Jimi-inspired" aesthetic stays sharp. It’s an ideal wakesurf vest for those long, sunny afternoons on the lake because the fabric is treated to resist the fading effects of sun and salt water, maintaining its fresh-out-of-the-box look for seasons to come.
How does the Water Resistant liner on the Ronix Purple Haze affect my riding experience? +
The Ronix Purple Haze solves the "cold, soggy vest" problem by using a liner that prevents water from soaking into the internal foam. By shedding water rapidly, the vest stays significantly lighter than traditional jackets. This consistent weight is essential for wakefoiling, where a heavy, water-logged vest can shift your center of gravity and ruin your balance.
Does the "Longer Torso" on the Purple Haze interfere with my boardshort movement? +
It actually improves it. Many competition jackets are cut too short, but the Ronix Purple Haze impact vest features a Standard/Long torso profile. This ensures the vest stays tucked against your waist during deep waterski carves or high-impact landings, preventing the jacket from riding up to your chin without restricting your hip mobility.
