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

High-Vis Precision. Pro-Tier Versatility.
The 2026 Follow Global Mens in Orange/Black is a style you’ll notice and a feeling you won’t forget. Built with Dual-S™ Neoprene, this vest feels significantly more comfortable in the water than standard polyester alternatives, offering a supple, "second-skin" feel. The flawless outer finish and inner zipper-flap branding provide a premium, minimalist aesthetic without compromising on durability. Whether you’re leaning into a high-speed waterski turn, launching a massive wakeboard jump, or finding your flow while wakesurfing, the Global delivers a weightless, high-performance experience.

The Global Tapered Fit Advantage
To meet the stability demands of wakefoiling and wakesurfing with the agility of wakeboarding and waterskiing, the Global utilizes Follow's signature Tapered Fit. This architecture provides a strong, firm chest wrap that tapers toward the waist, ensuring a secure body-hug without feeling confined around the stomach. Supported by the TrueFit™ Liner, the Global stays perfectly in place during deep-water starts and high-impact falls, providing a secure, predictable center of gravity 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

Does the Orange/Black colorway help with safety while wakefoiling? +
Absolutely. Wakefoilers often crash further away from the boat or in "blind spots." Wearing a high-visibility wakefoil vest like the Orange/Black Global makes it significantly easier for your driver (and other lake traffic) to spot you after a fall, especially in low-light sunset sessions.
How does the "Tapered Fit" handle the high-speed spray of waterskiing? +
At high waterski speeds, a loose vest acts like a parachute. The Global’s Tapered Fit creates a streamlined 360-degree wrap that won't catch the spray. It stays locked below the ribs, ensuring you stay fast and focused on your edge during aggressive carves.
Why is Dual-S™ Neoprene better for wakesurfing? +
Wakesurfing requires a vest that is low-profile and high-stretch. Dual-S™ Neoprene is more comfortable and flexible than standard materials, allowing the vest to hinge perfectly with your core during deep bottom turns. It’s the ultimate choice for a wakesurf vest that won't bunch up at the stomach.
Can I trust the "Featherweight Foam" for high-impact wakeboarding? +
Yes. 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 technical handle passes.
