Step into a vest that’s as tough as your local break with the 2027 Follow Gratis Wake Vest. This is the workhorse of the Follow range, built for the rider who values a bit of extra grit and a lot of extra comfort. Wrapped in a distinct Rust colourway, the Gratis is designed with a relaxed fit that gives you the breathing room to move, grab, and twist without feeling like you're strapped into a straightjacket. It’s the ultimate choice for Aussie sessions that start at sunrise and don’t end until the boat's back on the trailer.
Secureprene™ & Quad-S™ Neoprene: A strategic hybrid of ultra-tough textured neoprene for impact resistance and super-stretchy material for unrestricted movement.
Relaxed Fit Profile: Cut with a slightly larger silhouette and generous armholes, this wakeboard vest is perfect for riders who prefer a non-restrictive, traditional feel.
Dual Layer Construction: By using two layers of neoprene, Follow significantly reduces the "expansion" effect when wet, keeping the vest snug and preventing it from sagging or riding up.
Featherweight Foam: High-quality, low-density foam that offers maximum protection against heavy bails while remaining the lightest material on the market.
TrueFit Internal Liner: A smooth, adaptive liner that eliminates "neo-rub" and ensures the vest conforms to your body shape without bunching.
The Follow Gratis is for the no-nonsense rider who wants a vest that can take a beating and still look premium. Its "Rust" aesthetic brings a grounded, earthy vibe to the water, while the robust outer layer ensures it won't tear at the first sign of a rough dock or rail hit. If you’re after a dependable, high-performance impact vest that prioritizes a comfortable, relaxed fit over a tight competition squeeze, the Gratis is your best mate on the water.
