Handlers Jackets

[winston]

Where can I get one in Canada? I mean I could just get a hockey jersey, but if I can find a jacket that was intended for training it would be better.
Thanks

They are hard to find in Canada.
I order from www.goldenlakejackets.com
I ordered one for my husband for Xmas and he loves it. Quilted white reverses to black.
Really good service from him and arrived in a week.

Also Helly Hansen is making their version of gortex "Helly Tech" in white. I purchased mine from Capital iron in Victoria BC.

I have dealt with Tom at Golden Lake and he is great . He even called up to me a couple times just to make sure of what i wanted and was happy .He has a good reputation with anyone I have known to buy from him . If you can get some other people to go in with you , it can save on shipping as well . Just make sure you have some time when he calls , he has the gift of gab .

Same here, I called and was gong to order "X" size and after talking to him he told me that size "Y" will be a better fit. I was unsure of this and expressed my concern as I did not want the hastle and extra cost of shipping it back.

He told me that if I allowed him to ship the "Y" size and it did not fit then he would pay for shipping both ways for the return.... In the end he was right on with his assessment.

He is really a class act and a pleasure to do business with....

I got the EZ view . It was something new at the time having the black stripes on the sleeves and Ill take any advantage of my dog seeing me as I can .
Its nice with the mesh back especially in the hot summer yet its big enough to wear something under it in the fall . I had him embroider my name on it as well .Cant go wrong with the quality . I have washed it several times already and had no problems .

The jacket I ordered for my husband was the quilted reversible black to white. We just got home from 4 trials in lower mainland BC and his jacket proved to be indispensible. Long open walks to get to the line and most of the time the handlers were asked to not wear white until the final holding blind. He wore his with the black side out then switched in the final blind. The wind was bitter and he said he stayed warm.
I spoke to a few handlers about the black stripes on the arms and they weren't impressed with the way their dogs took handles.
I wore my Helly Hansen. I was a little cold, but VERY white.

Tom at Golden Lake was great to deal with!

!

And now you all know why Zebras have stripes--so that they can't be see!!!.

I stick to all white with black gloves and hat.

Thanks for everyone's info and input. I think I'll be placing an order shortly from Golden Lake.
