"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

The Standard in All-Around Performance.
The 2026 Follow Corp. in Black is engineered to be the most versatile tool in your boat bag. Whether you’re searching for a high-durability wake vest for park laps or a sleek, lightweight wakesurf vest for a sunset surf session, this timeless design delivers. Built with Follow’s elite Featherweight Foam and Dual-Layer Neoprene, it provides pro-level impact protection in a rugged, low-maintenance package that matches every board and boat in your fleet.

The Relaxed Fit Advantage
Crucial for the balance and torso-flex required in a wakefoil vest, the Relaxed Fit profile offers a universal waistline and a non-restrictive rib cage scale. Unlike aggressive competition cuts that can feel like a corset, the Corp. Black fits true to your favorite cotton T-shirt size. This ensures total freedom of motion and maximum breathability, letting you focus entirely on the foil or the wake.

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 the Black Corp. the most popular wake vest every year? +
It’s the ultimate "no-brainer." It hides lake stains, resists UV fading better than lighter colors, and matches 100% of the gear on the market. It’s the most durable wake vest for daily riders who put their gear through the ringer.
Is this a good wakesurf vest for riders who don't want a "tight" fit? +
Yes. The Relaxed Fit is specifically designed for riders who find traditional competition vests too restrictive. As a wakesurf vest, it offers plenty of room for core movement and remains comfortable even when you're just hanging out on the swim platform.
How does the Black colorway look in action photos? +
Black creates a powerful, athletic silhouette. It’s a "pro-standard" look that keeps the focus on your riding style. It’s also the best color for hiding "battle scars" from board rub or cable park features.
Can I use this as a wakefoil vest? +
Definitely. Wakefoil vests need to stay out of your way so you can manage the subtle weight shifts of the foil. The Featherweight Foam is extremely low-profile, and the Relaxed Fit ensures the vest doesn't dig into your ribs when you're in a neutral foiling stance.
