The Petrel price is longer term, the price increase is not explained by the increase in the CAD. Shearwater is just like all other companies, sorry.
 
It's purely related to currency exchange. We want to keep USD prices as stable as possible so keep it within a +- $50 spread. When the exchange falls out of that range, we will adjust again.
 
In January the Canadian dollar hit a low of 68.6 cents it is now around 78 cents which is a little over 13% increase. Since the Perdix introduction in December the dollar has gone up about 10% so much of the increase is due to the rising loonie.
I am wondering how much of an increase is down to the rising loony south of the border depressing the US$
