The Spinlock Deckvest Cento is a junior automatic inflatable lifejacket with a harness, rated 150N category with 100N actual buoyancy. It is meant for people weighing 20 to 50 kg, aged roughly 8 to 16. It inflates automatically from a 20g CO2 cylinder with a corrosion resistant coating, has a single crotch strap and a soft loop harness attachment point, and takes optional sprayhood and pylon light attachments. It is not USCG approved.
Our take
Automatic inflation and a soft loop harness attachment point are the two features that define the Cento: it can inflate itself and take a tether. It is a junior jacket for 20 to 50 kg wearers and is not USCG approved.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
