Built for Offshore Racing and Serious Sailing

The Deckvest VITO is Spinlock’s advanced offshore life jacket platform, designed for sailors who spend long hours clipped in, moving around deck, and working in challenging weather. Its structured fit, durable materials, and low-bulk profile help make it a life jacket that serious crews can wear comfortably for extended periods.

Hammar Hydrostatic Automatic Inflation

This model uses a Hammar hydrostatic automatic inflator, which activates by water pressure when the inflation head is submerged. This helps reduce the chance of accidental inflation from rain, spray, or damp storage while still providing automatic inflation when the life jacket is properly immersed.

Integrated Deck Safety Harness

The Deckvest VITO includes an integrated deck safety harness with a soft loop safety line attachment point. This allows the wearer to clip in with a compatible marine safety line while sailing offshore, moving around deck, working at night, or operating in rough weather.

Fitted HRS Harness Release System

This version includes Spinlock’s fitted Harness Release System. The HRS is designed to allow the wearer to release from the safety line attachment point in an emergency, even when the safety line is under load. This is an important safety feature for offshore and performance sailing where quick release from a tether may be required.

Visibility When It Matters Most

The Deckvest VITO includes a fitted Pylon 360° life jacket light and Lume-On bladder illumination lights. These lighting features help make the inflated bladder easier to see in low-light, night, and man-overboard situations.

Sprayhood Protection in Rough Conditions

A built-in sprayhood with a large clear structured visor helps protect the wearer’s airway from spray and breaking water when the life jacket is inflated. The sprayhood stores away from the neck area for improved comfort during normal wear.

Comfortable, Adjustable Offshore Fit

The VITO platform is designed with a structured fit and fine-tune adjustment system to help the life jacket sit securely and comfortably on the body. A side-opening design, strong single leg strap, and streamlined back profile help reduce bulk while maintaining stability and support.

Hard-Wearing Marine Construction

Built with hard-wearing coated fabric, the Deckvest VITO is made to handle repeated offshore use around deck hardware, safety lines, foul weather gear, and marine equipment. It is designed for sailors who need dependable equipment that can stand up to demanding conditions.
