Rettungsweste VITO HRS / 275N
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.

PLB ResQLink 400
Too thick, does not fit in Spinlock lifejacket Antenna constantly folds open
The PLB is too thick to be integrated into my new Spinlock Vito 275 life jacket.
Unfortunately, the corresponding warning for the Spinlock Vito 275 life jacket is missing from SVB.
If you attach the PLB to the harness, the antenna will constantly pop up while sailing, and you'll be thrown off course, and there's a risk that the device will trigger an alarm unnecessarily.
I wouldn't buy this product again.
