I have been running a salus endurance class float suite for about 6 years now, and am very happy with it.

 

One thing I would caution you on about salus. They don't seem to be designed for heavy set folks. and it's hard (impossible) to fit a pair of Baffin titans on and actually fully zip the ankle zippers.

 

My two cents.

 

I am a strong salus supporter. But you kind of need to be fit to wear one.

Yikes! I've got a few extra pounds of Molson muscle, that doesn't sound good.

According to Salus website it is TC approved so it can be used in place of a pfd.

As I understand it, if a suit is not TC approved you must be able to put your TC approved PFD over the suit on demand by a CO.

Of all things, check how far the zipper goes down, when your in need of a raging whizz and the zipper only goes so far, you might have to do some wicked contortions to get out your Johnson.

This made me lol! I'll definitely watch for that.

I haven't really heard anything negative on either suit. Everyone carries the mustang classic and/or integrity, but I can't seem to find the Mustang Atlantic class in stock in my size, only a special order. It's great advice to not only try it on but move around, cast, sit, etc. I wouldn't likely have thought of that and I can't do that with a special order. The Salus is cheaper and in stock so I will try that one on for size and see what happens.

Thanks OFC

I normally fish in a pop-up hut, and only occasionally outside of it. If likely explore more though if I had a suit for piece of mind. I also would like to use it in my boat (16' side console) in spring and fall.

I feel like the one piece is safer, but I will have to sacrifice some comfort. I'm hearing the Salus may be more comfortable than the mustang. It's also a little cheaper.....

I've finally decided to drop some coin on a floater suit. I'm stuck between two suits, and could use some feedback from owners of the following suits:

1) Mustang MS-195 (the "Atlantic Class" suit, NOT the Integrity suit)

2) Salus Comfort Lite 1400

I've always thought the mustang was the standard bearer, but read really good things about the the Salus.

I believe both are Transport Canada approved, which is important because I will use it in my boat in spring and fall.

Anyways any feedback (here or by PM) would be much appreciated.

Leave the bag sealed and in the fridge until you get out on the ice, they'll be fine.

This - I do it all the time.

For GPS you can always use the Navionics app on a smart phone.

In a "Castle Doctrine" state, I believe you would be fine as long as the entry wound is in the front, and the body fell on your property. I'm no lawyer, but that is my understanding from a friend in North Carolina.

For those not inclined to have one made:

Middle of page, below the Eskimo huts. I have this bar, works fine for my needs.

Terry Goy was putting his huts out today.

A good CEO would have been taking steps to protect those workers and not just riding the company into the ground while putting $20,000.00 a month into her bank account.

Clearly you're an idealist!

That's a compliment by the way

It's definitely not stable in that area. There are areas nearby you can fish if you're cautious but but not there.

Anytime!

I've had this problem before.... There is a button on the main page. It's the same colour as the background though so you can only see it after you click it!

I made a screenshot for if it ever happens to you again.

Hey, I didn't start the fire, blame toronto_angler!

Okay okay, I may have thrown a few logs on myself, you got me there....

I NEED to get out fishing

I updated my Dell Latitude months ago,running better then windows 7.Definitely not one issue here.Love 10 .Funny how some like and some don't?.

I've never been much of an early adopter with Windows. Rather wait and see what issues people are having. I won't be giving up 7 anytime soon.. Just a personal preference.

Forecast is calling for some pretty good wind at the beginning of next week. I'm thinking I'll take Wednesday or Thursday next week off and hit up Cooks.

Someone was out from Guilford today (crazy!) posted a pic of some beauty perch. I don't want to cross post from another board though.

I think you're right, I follow another board specific to cooks bay and they are saying stay off.

Anyone risking the ice this weekend?

I was going to hit Cooks Bday but decided discretion is the better part of valor. Besides, I have the luxury of taking a day off next week and going out so I won't have to wait long anyways.

I hope everyone involved in these discussions can "agree to disagree" without hard feelings. I could disagree with a guy then go fishing with him the next day. Don't need anymore people leaving.

Agreed and well said.

I find it ironic and amusing that people are complaining about ranting in a thread called "I need to rant!".

I find it ironic and amusing that people are going on about free speech, while suggesting I don't exercise mine.

What a strange thread....

Ditto..

Adios

Windows 7 will run faster than Vista on an old machine, in my opinion.

But you are right, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Adios
