Podric Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Shhhhh keep it down! They came in late in the season and I am waiting for them to go on clearance. That can't happen if people buy them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted July 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Probably a good idea to wear one all the time on the water. Costco’s return policy is great so if it’s not comfortable, back it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podric Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Yes but are they Transport Canada approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podric Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Fisherman said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhawk Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 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.
