Whitewater safety is a serious matter. The NRS Standard Rescue Throw Bag is an excellent tool for protecting you and your buddies in swiftwater emergency situations. Rugged Cordura® bag is tough as nails and comes in two high visibility colors. 2" mesh panel for better drainage and reduced dry time. The 3/8" polypropylene rope is yellow for high visibility. The rope has a 1,900 pound tensile strength and it floats for good visibility on the water. A barrel-lock drawstring is incorporated in a flared nylon top for smoother throws, plus easy reloading and closure. An elastic loop and pocket will hold a glow stick or “chem light” for low light rescues. Internal foam flotation keeps the bag on the top of the water where you need it for rescue. Note: rope knots reduce tensile strength. for this reason, we make no claims regarding a rescue bag’s strength. Maximum load indicated is for the rope alone.
