Crotch Straps & Thigh Straps – Why they Matter

Recent research by UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency confirms why the hated crotch strap is necessary. It can stop a badly-adjusted lifejacket from riding up over your head and mouth when it inflates in water.

The Deckvest’s double-buckle helps reduce this risk by making chest belt adjustment easy and instinctive, but for human error reasons, Deckvest owners are still advised to use the special thigh strap which Spinlock provide.

Deckvest are also tested and approved with and without the thigh straps.

The 2010 Deckvest thigh strap is designed to fit comfortably around the hip joints. It can also be used as a single crotch strap between the legs if preferred.
