ADB Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Stumbled upon this sale at Gagnon's. $89.99 for a Mustang 1505 Classic Coat. http://www.gagnonsports.com/clearouts.html At Le Baron we sell it for $185.94, so that is quite the deal. For those looking for an inexpensive option, you won't find much better than that. Edited October 29, 2009 by ADB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 NICE FIND, but being green means its not coast guard approved and you'll need another in the boat as it will not qualify as a life jacket come time when the ministry boys or OPP check...

ADB Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 If I remember correctly, only true Life Jackets have to be red, orange, or yellow to meet code. PFD's can be any colour, as long as they are worn properly, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) If I remember correctly, only true Life Jackets have to be red, orange, or yellow to meet code. PFD's can be any colour, as long as they are worn properly, etc. Better check the regs then..cause the camo suits do come with CCG and DOT approval.

Roy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 As far as I know, only standard life jackets need to be either yellow, orange or red. The terms are confusing. A standard life jacket is the kind that you'll generally find on commercial vessels and those found on cruise boats and ferries (usually hanging from the ceilings). Most people don't own those types. The general boating/fishing public use PFDs or float jackets. These can be of any colour as long as they are approved by the governing authority.

brkygetr Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Either way its a Mustang..you float when you fall through the ice....and that my friends is critical to your survival. If you walk like Jesus you should wear a suit or a coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck666 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 i agree with the floatation suit idea, and by the way that is a great find! but i've been through the ice a couple times, and have made it out fine and dandy (not to be rude or anything).. and i sure hope i didnt jinx myself for the upcoming season!
