Hey I am looking for a place to buy a Helly Hansen Alpha One Piece Flotation suit at a decent price. Just wonder where everyone is getting there's from? I found it at Acklands Grainger but it is an outrageous price of $868.55 for a large. If anyone is a size small it is on sale for $240.78 which is a screaming deal for this suit. Look to get just a little safer on the hard water.

Thanks hookingeyes

Sail doesn't carry them and LeBarons doesn't have any in stock.

One year ago I wanted a Helly Hanson Floater coat. I went on the internet and got a price of $238 plus tax. Acklands wanted a ridiculous price and I just said can you match this price of $238. the clerk went to the manager and HE OK'd it. So I ordered it and had it in my hands within 1 week. Hope this helps. They are an incredible product. Good Luck, Tryhard.

I'm not sure if anyone would know this or not but with a Hanson, what size would be comfortable with a fellow that's 5'10" , 180lbs ? I'm thinking a Large ?

I have the Helly Hanson and bought it from LeBarons in Markham. I'm 5'7 and 180. I bought the medium and I have some room in it so I would think the large would be fine for you. If you fish outside a hut though the xl may be a better choice so you can bulk up underneath.

I have Helly Hanson Alpha as well and I'm same height and 175lb. Medium was too small for me and I went with Large. Much more comfortable.

Large is the way to go. I'm 5'9" and 190. Fits perfect.

Sounds like the Alpha is the best choice in the Hansen line ?
