Dear Helium: Will Wear Your Vests for 1 "Prom Night"

Not to draw your attention away from the very important text on page 60 (see October 21 post, please), did you see the Helium vest that Colin Wright was sporting on page 61?

Normally The Wakeboard Report crew rides with JetPilot neovests (some USCG, some not so much) but I would be willing to swtich brands for a vest crafted in the likeness of a sleeveless tuxedo. I have to tip my hat to the manufacturers of wakeboarding vests who have actually managed to 'cool up' life jackets. And I have to raise my glass extra high to Helium for taking at step even cooler. I had imagined that life jacket design review meetings were extra boring, with phrases like "Johnson are we going with 3 stripes this year or 4?", or "I think we should go with black again, Anne." I guess these meetings are not as boring at Helium, in light of their new offerings of cardigan, paisley, checkerboard and TUXEDO!

We don't use this blog as a begging platform (except for some boats), but if Helium wanted to ship me one of these, I promise to lose 10 lbs and make it look at least marginally sexier than this.
