The battle of preferences over neoprene versus nylon rages on until this day. Many bemoan neoprene for sticking to their skin or causing undue perspiration, while other rile against nylon for being itchy, coarse and chaffing against their skin. The decision which is best is all but entirely preferential and something that simply cannot be finalized with a solitary written review. Unfortunately, the low cost of producing a nylon vest is much below that of a neoprene piece that almost all child and youth sizes are made from the cheaper stuff.
The Blowsion IJSBA World Finals acts as the industry's largest gathering of watercraft racing's aftermarket companies, race sponsors, and pro racers. In that way, the World Finals is our sport's largest trade show. It is here that consumers and racers alike can check out new 2019 parts, apparel, custom builds, and all things watercraft for next year. This is also a good time where competitors can catch up with all of their sponsors or potential new ones.


At this year's event, RIVA Racing has set up our best trade booth ever, boasting a full line up of our aftermarket racing parts, our new 2019 Yamaha & Sea-Doo Custom Builds, plenty of fresh apparel, and a hands on display of the watercraft industry's #1 tuning device, the MaptunerX.

The Youth Hydro Nylon Life Vest also includes (albeit curiously) a D-ring for clip-style lanyards, although very few parents let their 8-year-olds operate a personal watercraft without adult supervision. Thus far, our test sample vest has held up to some tremendously rigorous testing, both aboard watercraft and in just playing in the water. So far, our designated test subject has preferred this vest over the others we have still pending review. Nevertheless, we found the Slippery Youth Hydro Nylon Life Vest both an attractive unisex option, a tremendous value (priced at $29.95) and a solid “all-around” vest offering for the kids!At this year's event, RIVA Racing has set up our best trade booth ever, boasting a full line up of our aftermarket racing parts, our new 2019 Yamaha & Sea-Doo Custom Builds, plenty of fresh apparel, and a hands on display of the watercraft industry's #1 tuning device, the MaptunerX.
