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

Stealth Performance. Multi-Sport Versatility.
The 2026 Follow Fortune Womens in Black is designed for the athlete who wants pro-level specs with a sophisticated, tapered look. Featuring Super Stretch Movement Flex Panels and a stunning diamond-patterned stitch line, this vest is built with Chevron Polyester for industry-leading durability. Whether you are navigating the wake at 30mph on waterskis, hitting technical rails on a wakeboard, or enjoying a endless wave while wakesurfing, the Fortune provides a streamlined, flexible fit. The Featherweight Foam ensures you stay light and agile, offering a "second-skin" feel that doesn't compromise on impact protection.

The Fortune Corset Fit Advantage
To achieve the core stability required for wakefoiling and the agility needed for high-speed towing, the Fortune utilizes Follow's signature Corset - Tailored Fit. This architecture features a traditional single-side segmentation from the underarm to the hip, allowing the vest to taper perfectly to the female waist. Combined with a TrueFit™ Liner, this prevents the vest from riding up during deep-water starts or high-impact surface crashes. It’s a "locked-in" fit that allows you to focus entirely on your handle passes and carves across all towed water sports.

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 a "Corset Fit" better for waterskiing than a standard vest? +
At high speeds, a loose vest acts like a parachute. The Corset Fit creates a 360-degree wrap that stays streamlined against your ribs even during aggressive waterski carves. It reduces drag and ensures that if you do catch an edge, the impact protection stays exactly where it needs to be.
Is the Black colorway prone to getting hot on long wakesurf days? +
While black absorbs UV, the Dual Layer Construction acts as an insulator between the outer shell and your skin. Additionally, the Chevron Polyester is designed to shed water rapidly; this quick-drying action provides a natural evaporative cooling effect while you're waiting for your next wakesurf set.
Can I trust the "Featherweight Foam" for high-impact wakeboarding? +
Absolutely. It is the softest and lightest foam in our lineup, but it’s high-density. It’s specifically chosen for wakeboarding because it absorbs surface tension on hard landings without the bulk of traditional foam, allowing for better "tucked" grabs and rotations.
How does this vest help with wakefoiling balance? +
Wakefoiling is all about core stability. The TrueFit™ Liner in the Fortune creates an internal bond that prevents the foam from shifting inside the vest. This gives you a consistent, predictable center of gravity, which is essential for maintaining flight on a wakefoil.
