Introducing Spinlock's new Deckvest 6D

by Lusty and Blundell 27 Feb 2021 16:26 PST 28 February 2021

The Deckvest 6D marks a new era for Spinlock and its popular Deckvest lifejacket range.

Following feedback and review the Spinlock design team have worked hard to develop yet again the latest in lifejacket technology and a step-change in product development.

Adjustment has been the biggest design focus developing a new buckle and adjuster system to ensure the Deckvest 6D is simple and intuitive to fit, ensuring fast, easy donning. A new buckle system, sized perfectly, passes through a soft durable front moulding, to be securely locked into place. Smooth running, wide adjuster buckles then allow for the perfect fit - whatever is being worn
