The best on the market

Works perfectly. I would not even notice that its heavier than its lighter brother. Easy to put on and fits me well and is not in the way even when sailing in rough winds and water

Because of 275N ideal for bigger sailor or for yachstmen who are sailing during rough weather in cold water (Baltic, North Sea, Atlantic) and wear lot of cloaths and winter jacket. There is anywest under 250N useless

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.

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