WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
The Total might be the sweet spot in Follow's men's range for the largest number of riders. It takes the comfort and forgiving nature of a relaxed fit and combines it with genuinely premium Follow construction. Featherweight Foam keeps the bulk down, the TrueFit liner improves comfort and the durable Chevron Polyester outer makes sense for regular riding. The Affiliate and RD are better choices if you want a tighter technical vest, but for all-round wake use we'd happily choose the Total.
✓
BEST FOR
Beginner to advanced wakeboarders, cable and boat riding, longer sessions, riders who prefer a relaxed fit and anyone wanting one comfortable premium wake vest for all-round use.
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Riders who prefer a very close tapered performance fit, those looking for maximum stretch from a premium neoprene vest, or riders who require a conventional life jacket rather than a wake impact vest.
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earns a place at WakeShop.
The Total is one of the easiest Follow vests to recommend because it combines premium construction with a fit that works for a huge range of riders. The Relaxed Fit gives you more room through the body, while Featherweight Foam, Dual Layer Construction and the TrueFit liner keep it light and comfortable. It offers a noticeable step up from a basic impact vest without forcing riders into an aggressive performance fit.

Why we'd choose it
Choose the Total if you want a premium relaxed-fit wake vest that combines excellent comfort and freedom of movement with Follow's proven lightweight construction, without the tighter feel of its performance-focused models.
Choose the Corp if you want a comfortable, relaxed-fit wake impact vest that delivers Follow's core construction quality at a more accessible price.
Choose the Section if you prefer a roomier, more relaxed wake vest rather than the close tapered fit of Follow's performance-focused models. It's comfortable, durable and particularly well suited to riders who don't want to feel squeezed into their vest.
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.
