WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
The RD is one of Follow's most technical wake vests and it feels designed around performance first. The short tapered cut keeps the vest out of the way, while the combination of Secureprene, Duraprene and seriously stretchy Quad-S neoprene gives it outstanding mobility. Featherweight Foam and the TrueFit liner keep the vest light and secure. If you're after a pure wake impact vest rather than certified flotation, this is one of the strongest performance options in the range.
✓
BEST FOR
Advanced wakeboarders, cable and park riding, technical boat riding, riders who prefer a shorter vest and anyone prioritising maximum stretch, low bulk and freedom of movement.
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Riders who require a certified buoyancy aid or life jacket, customers who prefer a relaxed or longer fit, or occasional recreational users who do not need such a technical performance vest.
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earns a place at WakeShop.
The RD gives us a genuinely premium wake-focused impact vest rather than another generic foam vest. Its short tapered fit, highly technical tri-neoprene construction and lightweight Featherweight Foam make it exceptionally mobile, while the TrueFit liner helps maintain a secure shape on the body. It is particularly well suited to riders who value freedom of movement and a close technical fit over additional buoyancy-focused features.

Why we'd choose it
Choose the Follow RD if you want a premium, technical wake impact vest with a short tapered fit, exceptional stretch and excellent freedom of movement for aggressive cable and boat riding.
Choose the Love Nor Money if you want premium impact protection and technical construction without the restrictive feel of a close-fitting performance vest. Its relaxed fit and highly segmented foam make it particularly strong for progressive cable riding and hard landings.
Choose the Fragment if you want certified 50N buoyancy with maximum flexibility and a close, performance-focused feel. Its highly segmented construction makes it particularly strong for active wakeboarding where unrestricted movement matters.
Choose the Affiliate if you want a premium all-round wake impact vest with a secure tapered fit, extremely soft and stretchy neoprene, and enough versatility to work equally well behind the boat or at the cable.
