I am trying to find a place to rent life jackets for trip coming up. There are none in ATL that I can find. Anyone know a good company I can have ship me some here so I dont have to stop in Florida?

Thanks

The problem with having them shipped is that they are HAZMAT because of the CO2 cylinder. I just recently went through this and ended up flying to Fort Pierce and bought a couple of rafts. You can rent them from the FBO there--life jackets and/or rafts. I stop there to clear customs coming back anyway and turn them back in. You have to consider the cost to ship HAZMAT to you--then ship them back when you are finished.
 
I use a company out of south florida. http://www.survivalproductsinc.com/

They had good rates. You had to ship the stuff hazmat but it isn't that big of a deal. They have jackets, rafts everything you need.
 
Thanks for all your input. After doing some research, I talked the company into buying the vest. The amount of time we needed them it was actually cheaper to go ahead and purchase.

Thanks Again for the responses.
