The Spinlock Deckvest VITO 170N Hammar represents the top of the range in personal safety technology for professional sailors and demanding recreational boaters. This automatic inflatable lifejacket has been developed in collaboration with top-level offshore sailing teams, including Volvo Ocean Race sailors, and is specifically designed to cope with extreme sea conditions. Its ergonomic, lightweight, low-profile design makes it a comfortable garment to wear for long days on deck, without compromising mobility or comfort.
This model uses a Hammar automatic inflation system, activated by hydrostatic pressure, which means that it inflates only when fully submerged, avoiding accidental activation by spraying or surface moisture. It offers 170N buoyancy, ideal for adults in rough sea environments, and comes equipped with an integrated safety harness with stainless steel attachment point, ready to connect to lifelines or deck harness systems. It also incorporates a 3-point adjustment system, retractable straps and reflective elements for maximum visibility.
As professional level safety equipment, the Deckvest VITO comes pre-installed with a Pylon™ LED emergency light, whistle, sprayhood (splash hood) and safety knife attachment point (optional). The entire vest has been certified to the strictest international standards (ISO 12402-3 and 12401), ensuring that it meets the requirements for ocean racing, extended voyages and commercial sailing.
