The Follow Men's Affiliate is designed for the rider who lets their riding do the talking. Stripped of flashy graphics, this vest focuses entirely on material quality and an uncompromising fit. While "relaxed" vests offer more room, the Affiliate utilizes the Men's Tapered Fit. This silhouette provides a firm, secure feel across the chest and tapers down to a tight waist, ensuring the vest stays exactly where it should.
Constructed with Dual-Layer Neoprene, the Affiliate is engineered to resist water absorption, keeping the vest lightweight from your first drop to your last. Inside, youāll find Followās TrueFitĀ© internal liner, which works in tandem with the Featherweight Foam to ensure the vest conforms to your body without shifting or "stacking" up. Itās the ultimate "stealth" vest for the Vernon rider who wants the most secure, athletic tech available in a timeless, understated package.
Men's Tapered Fit: Followās most athletic silhouette. It features a broader chest and a significantly narrowed waist to prevent the vest from riding up or shifting during technical riding.
Stealth Aesthetic: Minimalist branding and tonal detailing make this the most versatile vest in the boat for any style of rider.
Dual-Layer Neoprene: Prevents the foam from soaking up excess water, maintaining a lightweight feel and ensuring the vest doesn't stretch out over time.
Featherweight Foam: Followās lightest, most buoyant foam, offering maximum impact protection with virtually zero weight penalty.
TrueFitĀ© Internal Liner: A specialized liner that maintains the vestās natural curve, ensuring the foam stays locked in place and moves in sync with your body.
ā” THE ATTRIDGE FIT TIP: THE TAPERED LOCK
The Tapered Fit is designed to be tight. If you have a more athletic build, this is your best friend; if you have a more "relaxed" midsection, you may want to size up.
The Girdle Fit: You should have to "suck it in" to get the zipper started. A proper fit feels like a tight, supportive girdle on land.
The 10% Rule: Neoprene expands roughly 10% when wet. Because this vest is tapered, that extra "snugness" in the waist is what keeps it from hitting your chin when you hit the water.
