Manhattan Tailored Fit for Precision Comfort

The Radar Tidal Comp Vest features Radar's innovative Manhattan Tailored Fit, developed through a unique approach to watersports apparel design.

Radar collaborated with a New York City tailor to study accurate garment proportions and sizing, applying those techniques to create a vest that follows the natural shape of the body.

The result is a comfortable, streamlined fit designed to move with you through every waterski pass.

Lightweight Zote Foam for Maximum Mobility

At the core of the Tidal is lightweight Zote foam, a premium material selected for its flexibility and comfortable feel.

This foam allows the vest to bend and move with your body, helping reduce unnecessary bulk while maintaining the coverage expected from a competition impact vest.

Combined with carefully positioned panels, the Zote foam construction supports natural movement during aggressive slalom turns and transitions.

Four-Way Stretch Fabric and Diamond-Textured Finish

The Tidal features a four-way stretch exterior that conforms to the contours of your torso.

This flexible material helps create a snug, comfortable fit without restricting normal waterski movements.

A distinctive diamond-textured finish adds durability and gives the vest a premium, understated appearance.

Slalom-Specific Arm Openings

Unlike traditional vests with simply oversized armholes, Radar designed the Tidal's openings around the unique movements of slalom waterskiing.

The openings are strategically sized and angled to accommodate arm extension, rotation, and the body positioning required during slalom skiing.

This waterski-specific construction helps provide comfortable mobility without unnecessary restriction.
