"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

Industrial Aesthetics. Pro-Tier Reliability.
The 2026 Follow Total Mens in Dark Brown is the "Employee of the Month" evolution. This deep, earthy brown is more than a color choice—it's paired with Chevron Polyester, a high-density dot-point weave that creates a textured, ultra-durable shell that resists the typical snags and abrasions of cable park features and boat towers. Ridden by Joe Battleday, the Total series is engineered for those who need a vest that looks as "tough" as it performs.

The Relaxed Fit Advantage
In the Total series, Relaxed Fit is about maximizing lung capacity and core mobility. It fits true to your standard T-shirt size, providing a straight waist and consistent chest scaling. The TrueFit™ Liner is the hidden hero here; it creates a structural bond between the Featherweight Foam and the outer shell. This prevents the "sagging" or internal foam-shifting that usually happens to brown or darker vests after they've been baked in the sun and soaked in the lake all summer.

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 choose Dark Brown over a traditional Black vest? +
Dark Brown offers the same "slimming" look as black but hides dried salt and mud significantly better. If you ride in rivers or "tea-colored" lakes, the Dark Brown Chevron Polyester will look clean all season long while black gear starts to show white water-spots immediately.
How does the TrueFit™ Liner help with high-impact falls? +
In a standard wake vest, the impact of hitting the water can cause the foam to shift upward toward your chin. The TrueFit™ Liner "locks" the internal foam to the neoprene shell, ensuring the protection stays exactly over your ribs during a crash. It’s the safety standard for pro-level riding.
Is this vest too heavy for wakefoiling? +
Not at all. Despite the "heavy-duty" look, it still uses Follow's Featherweight Foam. It’s an elite wakefoil vest because it provides a consistent, low-profile fit that doesn't hold excess water weight, keeping your center of gravity predictable.
Does the Dark Brown heat up more in the sun? +
While darker colors absorb more heat, the Dual Layer Construction acts as a thermal buffer. The outer Chevron Polyester takes the heat, but the TrueFit™ Liner and foam provide an insulating layer that keeps the interior feeling comfortable against your skin.
