Costco auto inflatable life jackets.

This is why we can't have nice things.  Easy enough to try out in the store.

Working against my own interests: The Costco sign says "automatic or manual" also the model number in the picture looks like that one is an automatic model.

Costco also sells 2 recharge canisters for $54.

Yes but are they Transport Canada approved?

I was going to cry FUD! but that was before looking at the mfg page and reading the manual.  Not a mention of Canada approval anywhere!

After some further digging this isn't the first year Costco has sold these.  Last year they cleared them out for $50.

This site here appears to be a Costco return clearance center: https://www.rjpwholesale.com/products/havasu-24-gm-automaticmanual-inflatable-pfd

They list it as Transport Canada approved.  I guess someone has to go an check the product or ask Costco and check for the stamp before buying.

Here is an answer to Fisherman’s post Lifejackets approved by the U.S. Coast Guard are not Canadian-approved. However, visitors to Canada may bring their own lifejacket to use on a pleasure craft as long as it fits and it conforms to the laws of their home country.
