Skin Suits and Jackets

The “Fit- Kits” have been ordered from Louis Garneau and should arrive later this week. This will allow skaters to try on a Jacket or skin suit for proper sizing. Fitting sessions will be set-up at next week’s practices.

Unfortunately, we do not have enough requests to place an order, so there will be a surcharge. The final cost will also include shipping and tax.

Thanks,

Betty

SLSSC Jackets and Skin suits – UPDATE

I have heard back from Louis Garneau !
Skin Suits- $215.00 plus taxes/shipping—- I need a minimum order of 6
Jackets- $139.95 – I need a minimum order of 12 or there will be a 5% surcharge =  146.95 plus taxes/shipping
The Jacket is a little different from our current Jacket, but still looks good. FYI, ours was discontinued.
I have also asked Lousi Garneau to look into the wear and tear of our last order. They would like pictures, so if any of you have more then normal wear & tear, come show me. I can take the pictures and forward them to LG.
LG will be sending me a “fit Kit” for the skins, and they are checking to see if there will be one for the jackets as well.
If anybody has questions please let me know.
