The O'Neill Competition Vest lineup introduces innovative Nytrolite Foam Technology, setting a new standard in performance-driven technology. This unique foam, created through an exclusive process using Low Density Polyethylene expanded with Nitrogen, offers exceptional benefits:

  1. Lightness: Nytrolite Foam is three times lighter than PVC foam, enhancing comfort and mobility.
  2. Water Absorption: Its closed-cell foam structure absorbs 15-20% less water, ensuring quicker drying times and prolonged durability.
  3. Buoyancy: Despite its lightweight nature, Nytrolite Foam provides approximately 10% more buoyancy than PVC foam, allowing for the use of less foam without compromising flotation capacity.

This combination of attributes makes the O'Neill Competition Vest lineup the ideal choice for water sports enthusiasts seeking unparalleled performance and comfort.

FAQ

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMP AND A CGA VEST?

A CGA vest is a U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jacket designed to provide maximum flotation and meet legal safety requirements on most public waterways. It is thicker and more buoyant to help keep you afloat in an emergency. A comp vest (competition vest) is not Coast Guard approved. It is thinner, lighter, and more flexible for better mobility, but it does not meet legal life jacket requirements on most public lakes and rivers.

How do I know it fits?

If it zips, it fits. Comp vests are designed to fit snug, so if you can zip it up, it’s the right size. They will loosen slightly once they get wet, which is why we recommend starting with a tight fit.

Who should wear a comp vest?

Comp vests are best suited for experienced riders who are confident in the water and prioritize mobility and comfort while riding. They are commonly worn by advanced wakeboarders, wakesurfers, and cable park riders who want a slimmer fit and greater freedom of movement. Comp vests are not recommended for beginners, children, or anyone riding in situations where a Coast Guard–approved life jacket is required.
