The updated Vito performance lifejacket harness, designed for 2026, features a revolutionary integrated flotation construction developed through years of buoyancy performance research. The Advanced Flotation System (AFS) positions inflated buoyancy to enhance rotation, freeboard, and water stability while maintaining a low profile for superior maneuverability. This jacket is smaller, lighter, and softer than traditional 2D welded lifejackets, offering improved comfort and fit for daily use. It includes the Harness Release System (HRS) as standard, along with the Hammar hydrostatic automatic inflation system for reliable performance in extreme conditions. The design incorporates high-visibility colors and essential safety features such as the Pylon light and Lume-On bladder illumination.
Advanced Flotation System: The AFS internal inflation chamber is sewn in a truly 3D form that sits close to the body, maximizing in-water performance while minimizing bulk. This construction provides enhanced rotation, freeboard, and stability, offering a much higher level of maneuverability both in and out of the water, which is essential for rescue situations and self-help.
3D Chamber Construction: The inflated product is smaller, lighter, and softer than traditional 2D welded bladders, yet it enhances performance in all required measures. The softer, more flexible internal construction improves fit and wearability, while the improved single-point adjustment allows for a quick, secure fit and simplifies the donning process.
High Visibility Design: The combined use of hi-vis pink and hi-vis yellow colors has been proven to enhance visibility at distance in challenging conditions compared to single-color jackets. The striking design finish utilizes durable ripstop fabric, and the construction allows for an improved use of these highly visible colors.
Structured Sprayhood: A structured sprayhood is fitted to reduce the risk of secondary drowning. The internal updates include new integrated attachment points for beacons, providing better accessibility and usability for key safety components.
Hammar Inflation System: The Hammar hydrostatic automatic inflator is activated by water pressure and will not inflate until the cap is approximately 10cm underwater. This system is designed for extreme conditions and extended offshore sailing, preventing accidental inflation from rain or sea spray. The unit features a single indicator to show if armed, and the inflator is protected on the back of the jacket to reduce the risk of snagging and damage.
Harness Release System: The Harness Release System (HRS) is a soft loop attachment point for a safety line that can be released in an emergency to free a person from their safety line. The activation handle is located behind the soft loop, making it easy to locate, grab, and pull. This system allows the user to separate from the safety line and boat, and it can be easily reset for reuse.
HRS Safety Standards: The HRS is a vital safety feature that enables the wearer to disconnect from the safety line by releasing a lever behind the soft loop attachment point. It is designed to be simple to understand, use, and maintain, while being reliable over the lifetime of the lifejacket. The system meets the requirements of the ISO12402 approval for deck safety harnesses.
Lighting and Accessories: The lifejacket is fitted with a Pylon lifejacket light and Lume-On lifejacket bladder illumination lights, which significantly aid location in the dark. Central attachment loops are provided for remote steering or MOB alert devices, and the jacket is PLB fitting approved.
Adjustability and Fit: The structured fit allows for easy donning with simple-to-adjust buckles and fine-tuning for layers of clothing. It features a latest Deckvest 6D style button fastening and a wider 40mm leg strap with stowage. A toggle attachment point is included for an optional Chest Pack (DW-PCC).
Specifications: The Deckvest Vito is CE Approved and complies with ISO 12402-3 Lifejacket (170N), ISO 12401 Deck Harness, Pylon Light ISO 12402-8, and Sprayhood ISO 12402-8 standards. The product weight is 1.24kg (2lb 12oz).
Warranty and Support: The lifejacket warranty is extended to 5 years upon registration. Registering provides access to unique online support, prompts for winter care, storage, and pre-season safety checks, as well as updates on MOB prevention and advice.
