Uncompromised quality - that's Follow
11th May 2020 | 0 comments
Follow is a wakeboarding brand that manufactures clothing and accessories for wakeboarding. Founded in 2010, it has been committed to creating products with quality that you can literally touch and feel. You can now find the offer of their products in our store, too.
In 2010, the brand started producing horizontal bars and small accessories, and their goal was clear. No tricks and meaningless, glossy designs. Simply the quality that meets its functionality.
Passion for creating top-quality products
Today, Follow is known for a wide range of necessary accessories and clothing such as vests, wetsuits, street jackets and technical hoodies, without which you simply cannot do without on a wakeboard. At Follow, they don't lack the passion for creating the best possible products for the rider, all that while maintaining the same basic principles in every single piece.
Among other things, Follow has one of the most epic and diverse teams of riders in this sport. Brenton Priestly, Sam Brown and Oli Derome are world athletes, innovators and artists, but they are also perfect ambassadors for the Follow brand.
By travelling around the world, they provide the brand with inevitable feedback on all products. They are the experts who get the most out of every wakeboarding expedition. In short, Follow is a family with a shared vision, and as a result they can more easily help develop the sport they love so much through the products they create.
Each technology is a story in itself
From the very beginning, the brand has set goals to create new fabrics and in new and more effective ways than others have done before. And the list of their technological improvements is growing each year.
Perfectly lightweight PVC free vests
G-lite PVC free foam
Follow vests are made of PVC free foam of the highest quality. PVC plastic is extremely toxic among plastics because it contains additives that easily migrate into the environment during their production, use and disposal. So no PVC = Happy Earth.

Duraprene technology
Duraprene neoprene is a tougher and grittier-textured neoprene. One of the most sophisticated and durable textures of the Follow brand. Tough as nails on the outside but still soft and stretchy on the inside.
Super Stretchy Neo.
Stretchy neoprene has reached another level. It is exceptionally soft, flexible and really comfortable. Finally, you can feel as if you're not wearing anything at all, but at the same time it still provides uncompromising durability.
Featherweight foam
There are two ways to keep a life jacket as lightweight as possible: reduce water absorption and use the lightest materials. The foam used by Follow is as light as a feather and it is the best of both worlds.
Dual-layer neoprene
When the neoprene gets wet, it increases in size by about 10%, depending on its thickness and materials. To minimize this effect, Follow uses both outer and inner neoprene layers. With a two-layer neoprene, the vest will be fitting as intended and will not increase its volume in water.
Sustainable performance technology
Yulex natural rubber
The goal of the Follow brand is to create a sustainable range of products that will also meet high performance requirements. That's why they use Yulex natural rubber in Follow. The Yulex emulsion removes more than 99% of impurities and the products are thus enriched with a stronger, non-irritating natural material.
PVC free buoyancy foam
And there's more. In addition to that, each Follow vest comes in a biodegradable bag. In Follow, they also ruled out the use of highly toxic PVC. So again, no PVC = happy Earth = better future.
Solvent free
In Follow products you will find only solvent-free water-based lamination glue. Neoprene products do not contain any harmful solvent chemicals.
Recycled polyester jersey
Approximately 15 plastic bottles are recycled in the manufacture of each Follow vest. Follow in this way helps to clean our environment and turn waste into functional and quality products.
Extremly stretchy wetsuits
Internal neo tape
The purpose of a wetsuit is to keep the water out of the body and your body heat in. If the wetsuit is damaged, then it's only as good as its weakest link. 100% internally taped seams create a more durable seam with no water leaks, keeping you safe and warm.
Calf drains
But once the water gets in, you want to make sure it has a way to get out, too. Wetsuit from Follow has calf drains strategically placed to prevent water from accumulating and at the same time taking new water in while riding.
B-lock stitch
Neoprene flexibility is important. Reduced flexibility means reduced performance. That's why they use B-Lock seams at Follow, which are 100% stretchy. In short, the most flexible stitch on the market.
Seamless underarms
Fewer seams in wetsuit mean less vulnerability on the water. Follow wetsuits have seamless underarms, providing protection from elements and at the same time unlimited freedom of arm movement, so using wetsuit in any conditions will be really comfortable.
GBS stitch
GBS stands for glued and blind-stitched. GBS seams create a watertight seal – just one more way of protecting you from the elements.
4-way stretch jersey
At wakeboarding, your body moves in unexpected directions. This means that you need a neoprene that can handle these situations without any hesitation. The 4-way stretch wetsuits from Follow move with you all season long.
Melco stress points
All highly stressed areas are reinforced with melco tape, which minimizes water leakage and ensures that the neoprene structure is maintained.
Zipless entry
Zipperless entry eliminates the weight and bulk of a sewn-in zip closure, this increases your freedom of movement while preserving the suit's water-tight objective. An established closure at the shoulder opens up the back of the suit then allows the rider to pull over head to fully close off external elements.
Universal jackets to use in water, street or snow
Lycra hand cuffs
Stop your jacket from riding up with Lycra sleeves. Comfortable and made of light and stretchable Lycra, they will keep everything in place regardless of your motion, while still allowing for freedom of movement all day long.
Perfect waterproofing and breathability
Keep the cold out and the warmth in. Waterproofing is is what keeps the jacket from soaking up water as you ride, while breathability relates to how much body heat your jacket can retain. The 10K/10K combination from Follow allows you to keep warm while preventing water from soaking in from the outside and gaining weight during your winter sessions.
DWR treatment
The 4-way stretch material from which Follow manufactures its products is treated with DWR coating on the outside and inside, which means it prevents the outer layer of fabric from becoming saturated with water.
Beat-up collection of lifestyle clothing
Not just functional, but also stylish. In the Follow collection, you can also find clothing for your free time, have a look for yourself:
Follow is simply a brand that gives wakeboarding everything. If you want to be part of this family, choose from this year's collection.
