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

The Ultimate Crossover. Boutique Style meets Multi-Sport Utility.
The 2026 Follow Ruby Womens in Grape is designed for the athlete who refuses to be pinned down to just one discipline. Whether you are crossing the wake at 32mph on waterskis, throwing technical rotations on a wakeboard, or carving a endless wave while wakesurfing, the Ruby provides the perfect balance of protection and weightlessness. Featuring Quad-S™ (Seriously Soft-Super Stretchy) Neoprene, this vest offers the extreme flexibility required for deep-water starts and high-impact falls across every towed water sport.

The Multi-Sport Duo Fit
Why settle for a vest that only works for one sport? The Duo Fit architecture is refined to provide a "locked-in" body hug that is essential for the high-speed spray of waterskiing and the precise balance of wakefoiling. By contouring to the female torso with left and right dimensional panelling, the Ruby ensures that your gear never interferes with your handle passes or core stability, regardless of what's under your feet.

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

Can I use an impact vest for high-speed tournament waterskiing? +
While this is a non-CGA impact vest, many advanced skiers prefer the Ruby because it is significantly thinner and less restrictive than a bulky life jacket. It provides targeted rib protection for "slingshot" falls while allowing your lats and shoulders the full range of motion needed for aggressive cornering.
How does the textile chest panel handle "the wash" when wakeboarding? +
The Nylon Textile panel is actually an upgrade for durability. When you take a hard "face-plant" or chest-slap while wakeboarding, this reinforced panel helps the vest maintain its structural integrity better than standard neoprene, preventing the "stretch-out" that happens to cheaper gear over time.
Is this buoyant enough for a beginner wakesurfer? +
Absolutely. While it's designed for performance, the Featherweight Foam provides ample flotation to keep you bobbing comfortably while you wait for the boat to circle back. It’s the perfect wakesurf vest because it stays low on the hips and doesn't push up into your neck when you're floating.
Why is the Ruby better for 'crossover' riders than the Corp series? +
The Ruby features Intelligent Internal Segmentation. This means the foam is cut into smaller pieces that "hinge" with your body. If you switch from the upright posture of wakefoiling to the crouched stance of wakesurfing, the Ruby adapts instantly without any air-gaps or "bunching."
