Our Vests are specifically crafted and evaluated by the greatest water athletes. O'Neill's vest collection goes beyond existing convention, setting a new standard in the industry and paving the way for others to follow. Constructed with our proprietary NytroLite Foam, this vest is 3 times lighter, drier, more buoyant, and provides better impact protection than the conventional foam. The lighter counterpart of the Nomad Comp Vest, the Cruzer is designed with quick-dry, high-performance tech at an affordable price. Its multi-density foam core provides increased protection in essential areas and greater flotation than the regular competition vests.

Competition Vests are designed to fit skin tight. They are form fitting and will stretch. If you are used to wearing a loose fitting vest, ski and wake vests will feel much different. They are designed NOT to ride up on you while in the water. When you first zip the vest, it will feel very tight, then loosen up once you are in the water.
