Spinlock Deckvest LITE USCG
- Brand:
- Spinlock
- Part no:
- DW-LCG2/R
The US version of Spinlock's Deckvest LITE (DW-LCG2/R), which Spinlock lists as USCG approved with Type II performance; the UK and EU LITE is a different jacket, so check for USCG on the label. Spinlock gives it 160 N (36 lb) from a 33 g cylinder, a single crotch strap, and a fit of 60–145 cm chest for wearers over 50 kg. It has no harness — Spinlock's LITE+ USCG adds one. Rearm it with Spinlock's DW-RAR/33G kit.
Our take
A good fit for coastal and inshore sailors who want a slim, low-snag jacket they will actually wear every day; Yachting Monthly scored it 84%. Skip it if you need a built-in harness, since that is the LITE+, or if you are a larger wearer, because the over-the-head neck opening may feel tight. Reviewers also report a waist buckle that slipped until the webbing wore in, and a manual toggle that took three pulls.
