Rob Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well under some good advice from fellow OFC members(once again! ) I purchased my Salus floater suit from Rack and Reel in Barrie. Very good price at $350 bucks very friendly people there and quick on the ordering (2 days) Anyways thanks everyone for the advice and see you on the ice!!

BillM Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Rob, did they have anything for you to try on for size? I need a floater in the very near future and they are just down the street. Also, which model Salus do they carry?

Rob Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 They just got a shipment of them today and had at least three of them on the rack. I am not sure of the size but check Here and you will see the sizing chart for the suits. Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discophish Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm thinking of filling the bathtub up with cold water and ice cubes and hopping in with mine seeing that I haven't been able to get on the ice yet. The quality of the suit is outstanding compared to my old suit. Fish safe and have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have a buoy o buoy. I find it is bulky & rather uncomfortable to move around in. It is definitely very warm. Are the salus suits warm, how are they for comfortable movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I was in the Rack and Reel yesterday. They had a large, and XL and a XXL to try on. The model they carry is the Pro-Lite series (cheapest model). They are on sale until the end of the week. $350, down from $400. They can order anything Salus.. They have the endurance class model on sale for $450. I bought the Endurance (not from Rack and Reel). The price is great considering you can order it from Cabalas for $430, plus shipping. My Endurance will be here tomorrow. I can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrasher Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 For those in the market, a few years ago, I bought the Helly Hanson Alpha suit. Great suit, great features (zippers, pockets, suspenders, adjustable neoprene inner cuffs etc.) I paid $280 +/-. It was one of least expensive suits around, and had more features than most $100-$200 more! I've used it a ton, it's warm, breaks in rather quick and haven't had an issue with it.

Thrasher Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Forgot to mention, the ONLY down fall I've found, is the hood isn't insulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thrasher, I have the same Helly Hanson Alpha suit and love the suit for the warmth and all the pockets but I find it a tad bulky and heavy. My son has the Mustang and its much lighter and less bulky. Might just be me getting old.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 NICE!!!!! My floater suit just arrived. A day early. I gave them a CC# yesterday, and it arrived today. Can't beat that.. This thing looks bad ass. Can't wait for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
