The VITO HRS offshore life jacket was developed in collaboration with experienced Volvo Ocean Race sailors for the special demands of the race. The result is an innovative life jacket with high functionality that meets the high demands of sailors. The HAMMAR automatic release is activated by water pressure and requires full immersion in water to a minimum 10 cm depth to activate fully. This prevents unintentional activation due to rain, splash water or high humidity. Its unique shoulder-fit-system adapts to any shape and position, ensuring a snug fit on the shoulders at all times, and the compact design means mobility is not restricted.
This lifejacket also comes with a whole host of impressive features, including a highly effective LED flashing light, sprayhood with large visor, crotch strap, signal whistle and textile fabric D-ring for hooking a safety line. An optional distress transmitter can be easily added. Suitable for women and men from 50 kg. Colour of the float: neon yellow.

Includes Harness Release System (HRS) There's no doubt that being tethered to the boat is safer than being in the water. However, in an MOB situation, the person in the water could end up being dragged/trapped alongside or behind the vessel. With the innovative Harness Release System (HRS), this situation can be avoided and the safety line can easily be released. All it takes is a sharp pull on the rip cord and the D-ring releases from the life jacket.

Hardly any space to integrate a PLB ResQLink 400

The vest is undoubtedly comfortable.

But to integrate a ResQLink 400 PLB, either the PLB is too thick or the vest is too slim.

You should check whether the PLB fits. Unfortunately, the corresponding information for the Spinlock Vito HRS 275 lifejacket is missing from SVB.

If you attach the PLB to the harness, the antenna on the QLink 400 constantly pops up while sailing. You'll be thrown off course, and there's a risk that the device will trigger an alarm unnecessarily.

I've now attached the PLB to the two loops of the lifejacket with two cable ties and secured the suboptimal antenna with tape.

Rather expensive but worth it

The freedom of movement is much better than with other vests. But have not yet used (triggered) it in reality.

Technical question

JAMES C. | Jan 20, 2025

Regarding the issue of life jackets not being able to be transported by air. Can we ask the manufacturer to dismantle the co2 bottle before air transport? Just give me the specifications of the co2 bottle, we can buy the same specifications of co2 bottle here. Best regards James
