The Women's O'Neill Slasher: A premium impact vest featuring ultra-light NytroLite foam. Renowned at Attridge for its versatile fit and exceptional mobility, it stays secure through every carve. The Okanaganās favorite high-performance comp vest. Read more.
The Women's Slasher Comp is for the Intermediate to Advanced rider who refuses to be restricted by their gear. Whether you are a technical wakesurfer, a foiler, or a wakeboarder, this Non-CGA (Non-Life Jacket) vest is built for maximum mobility. While it's a shop favorite for its ability to fit a wide range of body typesāespecially shorter torsos and more pronounced hipsāit is first and foremost an elite competition vest for anyone who wants a "second skin" feel on Okanagan Lake.
The O'Neill Women's Slasher Comp Vest is a masterclass in ergonomic design. At Attridge, we consider this one of the most versatile vests in the building. It features O'Neill's exclusive NytroLite Foam, which is nitrogen-infused to be 3x lighter than traditional foam. This creates a vest that is incredibly thin and buoyant without the "bulky" feeling of a standard life jacket.
The Slasher is widely loved in Vernon because it stays exactly where you put it. The anatomical segmentation allows the vest to wrap around the ribs and waist securely, while the tapered lower hem ensures it doesn't "ride up" during hard carves or high-speed whips on Kalamalka Lake. Wrapped in buttery-soft UltraFlex DS Neoprene, this reversible vest offers a premium feel that matches its high-performance DNA.
NytroLite Foam Technology: Nitrogen-infused foam that is lighter, drier, and more buoyant, providing superior impact protection with a fraction of the bulk.
Versatile Anatomical Cut: Designed to follow the natural curves of the female silhouette, offering a secure fit for a variety of body shapes and torso lengths.
UltraFlex DS Neoprene: A high-stretch, soft-touch exterior that provides total freedom of movement and a premium "rash-free" experience.
Segmented Foam Core: Strategically placed flex points allow the vest to move with your body, not against it.
Reversible Design: Get two looks in oneāsimply flip the vest to change your style for the afternoon set.
Front Zip Entry: Durable YKK zipper with a safety tab to keep the vest locked in place.
ā” THE ATTRIDGE FIT TIP: SNUG IS RIGHT
When it comes to impact vests, smaller is better. If a vest is easy to zip up on land, itās too big for the water.
The Girdle Fit: You should have to "suck it in" to get the zipper started. It should feel like a tight girdle.
The 10% Rule: Neoprene expands roughly 10% when wet. That "slightly too tight" feeling in the shop translates to a perfect, secure fit once you hit the lake.
Safety First: This is a Non-CGA (Non-Life Jacket) impact vest. It is designed for flotation assistance and impact protection but is not a life jacket.
