Spinlock USA launches new ALTO USCG coast guard approved Belt PFD.
Spinlock has launched the US Coast Guard approved ALTO belt PFD in the United States, a simple and easy to use waist-worn belt. The ALTO inflatable pack feels invisible when worn yet still provides essential approved flotation when required.
Available in a great range of vivid colours, the ALTO is super lightweight and inflates only when you need it when you pull the manual handle. It is designed to be used over and over again by a wide range of watersports enthusiasts – from stand-up paddleboarders, fishermen and kayakers to small power boating users.
The ALTO’s accessible, adjustable waist belt creates a simple and close fit for the user, designed to be worn around the waist either at the front or back, when needed as an aid for floating support. Once deployed, the inflatable tube is released from the waist pack and supports the user under the arms and around the chest, offering the ultimate in comfort and reassurance on the water.
Spinlock USA’s CMO, Ted Winston says “We have taken our experience from designing and manufacturing flotation to a wide range of traditional sailing users such as the Volvo Ocean Race. We identified the need for the ideal flotation aid to suit users who do not want traditional lifejackets and buoyancy aids which are often too big, bulky, expensive, or over-specified. The ALTO offers the perfect flotation solution for all water sports users.”
