TROOPER CAPELLA 3.0 MEN'S CGA VEST
$199.99
Designed for the modern day board rider prioritizing extra mobility - and approved by the Coast Guard in the United States and Canada.
Features
Designed entirely for the avid waterman. We went deep into the outfitting process and borrowed some principles from lifelong NYC tailors who know what it takes to form a flawless fit. We paid $10k to this renowned seamster and in return he gave us the blueprint for the ideal proportions of chest dimensions. Once Mr. Manhattan got the specs dialed in, he then gave us what we feel to be the ideal ratio of sizes from XS all the way to a 4XL. So not only did we create the perfect fit, but we have it in 8 different sizes.
There was this homie named Capella from back in the day. He knew the earth was round. We ripped off his theories and made our vests round. A cylindrical fit that curves to your body unlike any flat vest. The only vest of its kind that has 3 unique qualities.
- More support on your rib cage
- Disperses the buoyancy proportion so now we can have a thinner lower stomach region which increases flexibility.
- It just fits better having a 360 ° wraparound construction – not just a traditional front and back foam like other vests.
You know that annoying face you make when you must try on your buddy’s wet life vest? Not no more. We created a liner that greatly reduces water seeping into a vest, and most importantly, reducing the weird “wet vest” face.
The softest fabric to ever be used in the world of life vests. Extra smooth to the touch – and extra repellant to water. The perfect co pilot to butter water conditions.
Vests that are designed for a standard length to longer torsos. Sometimes it’s just a little awkward when your belly button is saying hello.
Diamonds are now a man’s best friend too! A siped pattern in our foam for a primo formation around your body. Found on Cushion Foam.
The foam starts in the chest at 2” thick, then fades to 1” thick around your waist. Buoyancy where you need it, and mobility where you want it.
Our most flexible and softest CGA foam in the Ronix line. It molds easily to the body, enhancing comfort during extended wear and reducing fatigue while you wakeboard, wakesurf or wakefoil.
We tuck our foam in a harness so there is no shift between the neoprene shell and the inner foam.
Warm summers and cold beverages brought to you by our attachable friend - the coldy holdy.
It’s always a good thing to find a new way to take the edge off. Fortunately, we are making your life a little more stress free because every Ronix jacket has skived foam where a precise amount of foam is removed on the sides for a better fitting 45 ° angle – not having a steep sidewall like most traditional life jackets foams.
The Capella Story
Back in the day they figured out the Earth isn’t flat - why did it take this long to realize your vest shouldn’t be either? The only vest of its kind with a round cylinder function giving extra rib protection and a seam running diagonally across your back allowing movement that was only previously reached by tree inhabiting primates. One day we sat down wondering how a t-shirt is made since in most cases there is never a seam. Because of that you have a true formed fit wrapping all the way around your body. Yet vests always have a cut line going down the rib cage. An easier way to make a vest for sure, but a rider doesn’t have the same side protection, or the best ergonomically correct fit around their torso. Contoured to your body, flexing with a rider during an aerial assault without any hindrance. Freedom of mobility that was once only harvested from the greatness of those non buoyant impact jackets. Why is it called the Capella vest you ask? Way back when, everybody was saying if you sail in one direction for too long you will fall off the face of the Earth, but Capella and his homies knew otherwise. Smart cats, and we are trying to pick up where they left off with a design of water suspension attire that is meant to be constructed with a round curvature and a truly form fit. So don’t ride in this oversized armhole vest for us. Do it for Capella - a man with a vision of greener pastures that are forced down by the gravitational pull of Mother Nature allowing us all to live in this curved ball. We even spit shined these distinctly different fitting buoyant garments with some extra sexy materials. Changing the way you think about legalized flotation. Trust us, you need to try it on.
Select Your Fit
We’ve all bought something online and had the dreaded – "I didn’t know it was going to fit like that."
So, let’s remove that uncertainty.
Every Ronix vest can be summarized into 1 of the 3 different fits:
The Capella Fit | The Standard Fit | The Yes Fit |
|---|---|---|
|

A series with every advanced material we could get approved by the Coast Guard. The only vest of its kind with a wraparound cylindrical construction and our proprietary 2 to 1 foam creating more mobility in your mid-section. Designed for a slightly longer torso with more of a slimming athletic fit. If you are on the fence between a Medium or a Large with this series – we recommend sizing up to the Large. Our flagship models and are most uncompromising feel for the rider that wants the most freedom while riding. |
This series is our most affordable line of jackets approved by the Coast Guard. Designed for a standard or shorter torso with more volume inside. If you are on the fence between a Medium or a Large with this series – we recommend sizing down to the Medium. These jackets are ideal for riders that just prefer a slightly shorter / blockier frame, or somebody that will be wearing their vest while sitting in a boat, on a jet ski etc. Really the ideal series for anybody regardless of their frame that just wants to lounge around while wearing a vest. | We came out with the Capella and the Standard at the same time – and we could tell right away that there was a need for a series combing the 2. Designed for a normal fit, torso and materials – not as boxy as our standard series, not as slender as our Capella series, comfortable materials – but not the added extras of the Capella jackets. If you are on the fence between a Medium or a Large with this series – this series will fit the most true to size so then its just personal preference if you would like it to be a little bigger (large) or a little more snug (medium). Our most recent series has quickly had some of our best-selling jackets because of the large spectrum of body types they appeal to. |
