How to get the perfect fitting Life Jacket.

How do I know what size Life Jacket I should get?

A well-fitting life jacket is crucial for ensuring proper buoyancy and safety in water activities. A good fit ensures comfort and mobility, allowing the wearer to move freely while still being protected. Additionally, proper sizing prevents the life jacket from riding up or slipping off during emergencies.

Frequently asked questions

How tight should a wakeboard impact vest fit?

An impact vest should be snug — when you raise your arms overhead the vest shouldn't ride up past your ribs. Aim for about two fingers of slack between the zipper and your chest. Follow's Tapered, Relaxed and Tailored fits cover different body shapes; check the body diagram on each product page.

How do I know what size life jacket to buy?

Use your chest measurement (just under the armpits) and weight to choose a size from the Follow size chart on each product page. If you're between sizes, size down for a tapered fit, size up for a relaxed fit. Always try it on dry first and check the fit before getting on the water.

What's the difference between Tapered, Relaxed and Tailored fits?

Tapered: streamlined cable-park fit, closest to the body. Relaxed: more room across the chest and waist for boat sessions or layering. Tailored Duo and Tailored Corset: women's-specific shapes engineered for movement at the shoulders and a true fit through the torso.

Can I shrink an impact vest if it stretches?

Neoprene-shell impact vests can loosen over a season of use. Rinse in cool fresh water after every session and air-dry out of direct sun to prolong the foam life. A properly cared-for Follow impact vest holds its fit for several seasons of regular wake riding.
