Personal Flotation Devices

"Freshwater lakes, ponds and rivers cover nine per cent of Canada’s total area, and our country is bounded by three oceans. With this abundance of water, it is not surprising that 10 million Canadians are boaters. Powerboats, canoes and sailboats are the most popular pleasure craft. Fishing, hunting and partying are often associated with boating.

Boating is the number one cause of drowning in Canada. In 2000, about one-third of all water-related deaths occurred when boating. Eighty-five per cent of the boating deaths in 2000 (and closer to 90 per cent over the past 10 years) had one common factor — the victim was not wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) or life-jacket."

Another great Canadian company producing high quality Personal Flotation Devices (PFD's) We are happy to carry Salus because it is a product we can stand behind. In two years of selling Salus we have not had a single jacket returned. Bomb proof construction and comfortable design. They look great too. Consequently Salus PFD's do what a good PFD should....make you want to wear them.

Every Stohlquist PFD design is designed to meet the specific and unique fitting and performance needs of boaters. The design undergoes meticulous testing and revision in a lengthy process to meet very tight specifications, peticular designer preferences, and refined to become capable to meet the rigorous testing od Underwriters Laboratories and Coast Guard specifications. Each unit is hand made with attention to all details. We place bar tacks (an effective strength stitch) at all stress points. All seams are sewn once and then sewn again-- double stitched for strength and safety. Tensioning straps, buckles, and zippers are all strength tested before they leave the factory.
