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

Relaxed Fit

Understated Luxury Meets Technical Precision.The Follow Affix Impact Vest in Silver brings a premium aesthetic to the water, prioritizing high-end style and clean, streamlined performance. Designed for riders who prefer "quiet luxury" over loud logos, this vest features a unique material mashup—combining Follow’s ultra-plush, highly flexible Quad-S™ Neoprene with a rugged, structured Nylon Textile Chest Panel. This design creates a sharp visual contrast while drastically improving the vest's front durability. Meticulously engineered with Intelligent Internal Segmentation, the Affix conceals its stitch lines on the inside to keep the external profile flawlessly smooth. It's a low-bulk, ultra-stretchy competition masterpiece that ensures you look incredible while moving with total freedom.

Important Safety Note: This is a premium competition impact vest. It is CE-approved for impact protection but is NOT a Coast Guard Approved (CGA) life jacket or flotation aid. It is designed specifically for advanced wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and cable park riding where maximum mobility is required.

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

What is the point of the textured fabric on the chest pocket? Is it just decorative? +
It serves a dual purpose. While it gives the vest a distinct, high-end street jacket look, the Nylon Textile Panel adds structural reinforcement across the chest. This prevents the vest from over-stretching or sagging when wet, ensuring the front zipper area remains stable and durable against handle slaps or impact.
Will this light Silver colorway turn yellow or get permanently stained by dirty lake water? +
Follow uses premium, UV-treated neoprenes and high-definition screen printing designed to resist fading and environmental staining. To keep the Silver looking crisp all season, Wakesports recommends giving the vest a quick rinse with fresh water after riding in murky or algae-heavy lakes and hanging it to dry out of direct sunlight.
Can the zipper blow open if I take a high-speed crash on a kicker? +
No. Follow equipped the Affix with a premium YKK Aquaguard® Water-Repellent Zipper paired with an internal zipper guard flap. This flap is specifically engineered to act as a blowout barrier, deflecting water pressure during hard chest slap impacts so the zipper stays locked and secure.
Is a "Relaxed Fit" comp vest going to feel loose and shift around when I drop into the water? +
Not at all. The outer shape is relaxed to prevent pinching around your ribs, but the inside features Follow’s TrueFit™ Liner. This liner naturally bonds to the organic curves of your torso, while their Dual-Layer Construction prevents the neoprene from expanding by the typical 10% when wet. It stays exactly where you put it.
