Watson Comp Vest
Neoprene comp-cut vest signature to Shane Bonifay's program. CGA-approved, low-profile, doesn't ride up under hard cuts.
$159.00
A comp vest is the rider’s vest — neoprene, snug, low profile, designed to not ride up over your head when you cut hard or take a face-shot crash. The Watson is one of the most consistent comp vests on the water, and (importantly) it’s USCG-approved as a Type III PFD.
Why we feature it
Plenty of “comp” vests on the market are pull-over fashion pieces with no Coast Guard approval — meaning legally, in most U.S. states, they don’t count as a life jacket on the boat. The Watson is approved.
Fit notes
- Size on the snug side. Neoprene stretches a half-size after a season.
- Front zip + side cinch keeps the vest from migrating during rotations.
Important
A USCG-approved life jacket only protects you if you wear it. We recommend a PFD for every rider, every set, regardless of skill.
