In the past, Defender Industries’ big spring sale was a major event of the year. With their new owners, is this a thing of the past or is it still as yet unannounced?

Apparently, the Defender Spring Sale took place at the end of March and beginning of April. This is a lot earlier than usual, however, they’ve been having a regular series of sales of specific categories of products.
I’m looking for a few inflatable near shore PFDs and I’m seeing prices between $100 and $150 for them. I’ve seen them on sale for $10 or $20 less.
If you have any leads please let me know.

Steve, thank you for posting this. We have a brick and mortar BPS in the area, so I plan to put it on my shopping list. Only thing is it says Bass Pro Shop on the vest. I guess that you end up paying either way.
