Salus Marine is a Canadian manufacturer of high quality personal flotation devices (PFDs) designed and made for constant wear. As a nation rich in waterways, water-play is deeply rooted in the Canadian psyche. From worker to customer, from paddling enthusiast to champion sailor, people are the inspiration for Salus Marine Wear's designs, innovation and commitment to our Canadian roots. We are proud to say that every Salus PFD is made in Waterloo, Ontario by Canadians who take exceptional pride in their work. Here the Salus team can closely monitor quality and employ continuous improvements to ensure the best product possible. By teaming our designers with some of the world's best and most experienced sailors, canoeist and kayakers, we continue to learn and improve. Our involvement with the CYA (Canadian Yachting Association) for example, has been invaluable with the development of the Abacus sail vest and other advancements incorporated into other Salus products. Our patented manufacturing process eliminates the hard square edges found in traditional PFD construction, making our vests soft, pliable and comfortable for your every movement. From the children's Nimbus to the Torrent Kaya vest, the gently rounded edge is only one of many details that make Salus unique. In the increasingly competitive landscape, a commitment to keeping manufacturing jobs in Canada comes with challenges. Not only do Canadian manufactures have to compete with low-cost manufacturing facilities in Asia, but as more companies move their facilities offshore and the domestic supply chain dwindles, North American made fabrics and components become difficult to source. We at Salus embrace such challenges. For Salus, the most important reason to manufacture in Canada remains the people. From worker to customer, from paddling enthusiast to champion sailor, people are the inspiration for Salus' designs, innovation and commitment to staying true to its Canadian roots.
