Forgive me if this has already been posted, I am mentally exhausted after wasting all day viewing some of the worst international rugby performances I have ever seen, 3 whole matches in one day plus 20 mins of 'highlights' from Twickenham, and where are they getting the current refs. from? the antipodeans seem to be even worse than the Magners league crowd.
As a customer of Gaelforce, (while their prices are not always the cheapest they do tend to keep most stuff in stock and its good for the Highland economy) they like to send me an email every month with their offers I can't refuse, I don't always open them but the current one was offering discounts of up to 75%?
Unfortunately, as usual the big discounts were not on stuff I could persuade myself I had any need for.
However they also included a copy of a notice from Spinlock regarding Deckvests. The inflating mechanism on these was updated in 2010 and the product warranty increased from 2 years to 5, Spinlock have now decided to recall and upgrade all older Deckvests to the same system and offer the 5 year warranty to all at no cost to the customer. (They do not appear to admit that the older ones were faulty and the recall offer ends early 2011.) So if you have a Deckvest (we have 2, 2009 version) it would be worth getting the serial number and going to the Spinlock website.
 
Thanks for this I had not noticed the recall. Makes me wonder why Spinlock didn't conatact owners that had registered the product online. Checked my serial number and mine has to go back.

Many thanks
 
I complained to Spinlock that a Deckvest bought in 2005 had 100percent corrosion of the lifejacket zip by 2009.

It was fully and immediately replaced without question.
 
Just to Clarify, it's the ISO certified Deckvest (the one with the inspection window) that's being recalled - though they have a section on the site where you can enter your harness number to check any vest, for piece of mind, I suspect...

Spinlock contacted me directly by e-mail. I assume they did so because I registered the product.
