2. Minimal bulk design for unrestricted movement
3. Reversible styling — two looks in one vest

Product Description
The O’Neill Slasher Comp Impact Vest is built for riders who want performance without compromise. Part of O’Neill’s competition-driven vest lineup, the Slasher pushes lightweight construction and mobility to the next level, making it one of the lightest and most comfortable impact vests on the water.

At the heart of the design is NytroLite Foam, which is up to three times lighter than traditional PVC foam. Its closed-cell structure absorbs significantly less water and dries faster, meaning the vest stays lighter throughout your session. It’s also around 10% more buoyant than standard PVC foam, giving you reliable impact protection without extra bulk.

The minimal bulk construction and carefully shaped armholes allow full freedom of movement for wakeboarding, cable riding and other high-performance tow sports. Finished with a reversible design for added versatility, the Slasher delivers both technical performance and clean, modern styling.

Expert Advice
If you’re serious about wakeboarding or cable riding, weight and flexibility matter — and this vest delivers both. It feels light from the moment you put it on and stays that way, even after multiple falls. The minimal bulk cut makes grabs and spins feel more natural, and the reversible design is a nice bonus. Just remember, this is a competition impact vest, not a certified buoyancy aid.
