When it comes to safety, we know you want the best for yourself and your crew. Just launched on our website ‘Safety’ category is Spinlock Deckvest – the world-renowned go-to lifejacket for hobby sailors, offshore cruisers and racers alike.
What makes Spinlock Deckvest so great?
Manufactured in Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK, Spinlock have pioneered a sleek, contemporary lifejacket design that disrupted the marine industry, providing the first technical and aesthetic change to lifejackets for over 30 years.
Whilst safety, high-spec materials and functional design are paramount, what makes the Spinlock Deckvest unique is that it is designed for comfortable wear, unlike traditional life jackets which can leave you feeling heavy and bulky with reduce mobility. The Spinlock Deckvest on the other hand is compact, comfortable to wear and unobtrusive.
What makes this design possible, are the years of research and development behind the product. The materials are extremely durable and high quality. It is a testament to the good technology that the design can be so simplistic.
Spinlock lifejackets are used by the highly regarded Royal Yachting Association, and in races such as the Volvo Ocean Race, The Clipper Race, and by INEOS Team UK.
We have an extensive range of Spinlock Deckvests online for both juniors and adults, in a variety of colours.
The buoyancy for these Spinlock Deckvests is measured in Newtons. 100N+ rated jackets give a reasonable assurance of safety from drowning in relatively calm waters. 150N+ jackets are suitable for use in all but the most severe conditions. 275N+ are the most buoyant jackets.
