Can I rent equipment instead of buying it?

Yes. Rental is available for courses and for operational use outside of training. Common rental items include helmets, drysuits, PFDs, boots, neoprene gloves, throwbags, ice awls, ice cleats, helicopter flight helmets, helicopter survival vests, and helicopter flight suits. Rental requests for courses need to be submitted to the office at least 3 weeks before the course start date. Contact the office to confirm availability and arrange logistics.

Do you service or repair equipment purchased elsewhere?

Yes. Rescue Canada provides drysuit and PFD testing, service, cleaning, and repair regardless of where the equipment was originally purchased. Services include pressure testing, wax and gasket treatment, minor leak repair, latex wrist and neck gasket replacement, sock gasket replacement, and specialty repairs such as zippers, fabric booties, and seam work. Download the Repair and Service Form or call the office to book an appointment.

Does Rescue Canada ship equipment, and are there additional costs to be aware of?

Applicable taxes and shipping are extra and are not included in catalogue pricing. For specific shipping timelines, costs, and availability for your location, contact the equipment department directly. If you are renting gear for a course, factor in shipping lead time and request early. Late rental requests may not be accommodatable.
