Spinlock Deckvest Cento

The Deckvest Cento is specifically engineered for sailing. Its design prioritizes mobility and comfort for active junior sailors, but it is not intended for high-impact water sports like wakeboarding or jet skiing.

The jacket features a water-activated inflator that triggers the CO2 cylinder the moment it is submerged. This ensures the vest inflates rapidly without requiring the child to manually pull a cord in an emergency.

No, this life jacket is strictly rated for children weighing between 44 and 110 pounds. Using it with a child outside this weight range can compromise the fit and the effectiveness of the inflation system.

No, the Spinlock Deckvest Cento is not USCG approved. You should check your local maritime regulations to ensure this type of PFD meets the legal requirements for the waters where your child will be sailing.

Yes, it includes a soft loop harness attachment point designed to secure a safety line. This allows junior sailors to stay tethered to the boat while maintaining the low-profile, lightweight feel of the vest.

You should inspect the CO2 cylinder and the inflation mechanism before every use to ensure they are secure and free of corrosion. It is also recommended to check the status indicator on the inflator to confirm the system is armed and ready.
