Ya rentals are not the way to go anymore. They have to fit everyone from big to small so very rarely will they fit perfectly. Plus they raised the prices a couple years ago in order to help the retailers actually make something off renting, but with the cost and quality now of some offshore suits it doesn't make much sense cost wise.
If you are dead set on renting from a retailers perspective find somewhere that deals with black and lee. They are the easiest to deal with. Prices are reasonable for rentals and colour selection of vest is not usually a problem. Derks would be the next best option as they ship out of Edmonton any have a little better selection for more modern styles, they do have a tendency to mess up orders but your retailer should be on the ball and catch it in time.
