SAIL Picks are products recommended by our specialists for their performance, reliability and value for money.

You can find SAIL Picks across all product categories.

The goal is to help you quickly identify tried-and-tested products to make the most of your outdoor activities.

SAIL Picks are selected by a committee of SAIL employees who are passionate about the outdoors and specialize in different product categories.

Each season, these specialists evaluate products based on several criteria, including:

  • reliability;
  • durability;
  • real-world performance;
  • technologies and features offered;
  • ease of use;
  • value for money.

Drawing on their expertise, knowledge of brands and new products on the market, they handpick the products they would personally recommend to outdoor enthusiasts.

The selection evolves each season with the addition of new products that meet these criteria. Products that have already received the SAIL Picks mark generally retain it.

All SAIL Picks products are marked with a distinctive logo:

  • on sail.ca;
  • in store.

SAIL Picks are meant to help you make informed choices when gearing up, but they do not come with any additional guarantee compared to other products sold at SAIL. To discover the full selection, visit the SAIL Picks page on the SAIL website.
