About SAIL
SAIL is an outdoor retail chain that started in 1978 as an army surplus shop in Beloeil. Now based in Laval, it sells camping, hunting and fishing gear, along with clothing and footwear for the outdoors.
It suits families getting ready for a first camping trip, anglers preparing for opening day and hunters stocking up before the fall season. It is also a practical stop for warm boots and winter layers. With roots in a small Montérégie surplus store, it has grown into a familiar name for Quebecers who spend their free time outside.
