Henri-Lloyd has partnered with Spinlock to launch a branded range of personal flotation devices combining technical sailing apparel design with personal safety engineering. The lineup includes the Deckvest Lite, the Deckvest Lite + with an integrated deck harness and soft-loop attachment point, and the Deckvest Cento designed specifically for junior sailors. Each model incorporates reflective detailing, a high-visibility lifting strap, and attachment points for accessories such as VHF leashes, kill cords, personal locator beacons, and man-overboard signals.
The flotation units utilize the UML Mk 5 automatic inflation mechanism, which features a water-sensitive paper capsule that reacts specifically to upward water immersion while preventing accidental inflation from rain or surface spray. The Deckvest Lite models are provided in a single fully adjustable size for adult sailors, while the Deckvest Cento is scaled specifically for youth applications.
