CAPELLA 3.0
Automatically curved to the shape of your body. This 3rd generation Capella now features tapered foam gradually getting thinner as it fades from shoulders to the stomach. Enter Braveheart voice - “they will never take our freedom.” This vest offers a spoonful of sovereignty.

STANDARD
Can’t justify the ticket price of our technology jackets, but don’t want to skip on buoyancy?
KID'S STANDARD
From just out of the gates on up to the teen years - these kid’s vests were designed for all day boating comfort.
CGA Foams
FRONT FOAMS
DIAMOND FLEX FOAM
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.
CUSHION FOAM
Foam made from the heavens of softness.
2 TO 1 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.
BACK FOAMS
CUSHION FOAM
Foam made from the heavens of softness.
SUPPORTIVE FOAM
For the rider that wants extra pressure on their back with built in lumbar support. Power and response in your jacket.
FOAM TIE STRAPS
We connect our foam with a harness so there is no shift between the neoprene shell and the inner foam.
FIT
MANHATTAN TAILORED FIT
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. Once Mr. Manhattan got the dimensions all dialed in, the next step was to dial in the ratio of sizes ranging 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.
WOMEN'S TAILORED FIT
We took our award winning fit and adapted it for a woman’s physique.
STANDARD & LONG TORSO FIT
Vests that are designed 2” longer than a standard vest. Sometimes it’s just a little awkward when your belly button is saying hello.
SHORT & STANDARD TORSO FIT
Based around the symmetry of a shorter and a standard chest height.
CYLINDRICAL CONSTRUCTION
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.
Function
2-WAY STRETCH
A neoprene sponge material that moves side to side when you do.
GLIDESKIN
We live in a world that likes bling. Glide-Skin is shiny, it’s just more expensive looking. Which makes it cool and relevant.
WATER RESISTANT LINER
You know that annoying face you make when you must put 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.
SILK SKIN
The least abrasive material to ever be used in the life vest world. Extra smooth to the touch – and extra repellant to water.
OVERSIZED ARM HOLES
Sometimes those arms like to flap – these bigger holes let you roll the windows down with ease.
NECK & ARM HOLE FLEECE LINER
Happy kids = happy boating. Nothing makes kids happier than the soft fleece lining on our vests. That’s why all our little tyke models come equipped with this happy technology.
ECO
H2O YARN
A wide selection of our fabrics are knitted with yarn made from recycled plastic bottles.
H2O GLUE
Most of our neoprene is laminated together with a water-based glue.
NATURE'S NEOPRENE
Neoprene is normally made of petrochemicals - instead we use neoprene made from Limestone. It also lasts longer and is more comfortable.
