The Retriever Rescue Throw bag

55 foot 5/16th Kernmantle line with 1000pound MFP polypropylene core.

This should be your first choice for rescue bags.

Comes with an anodized carabiner which conceals in the built in pocket.

This is a waist worn system with a webbing belt so it is there when you need it. If necessary it can be jettisoned immediately with the quick release buckle.

Waist worn bags are there when you need them: How many times have you walked to the bottom of a rapid to scout and witnessed one of the group running the drop with everybody standing around with their ropes in their boats at the top of the rapid.

This rope has a unique set up. A 8 foot tow or rescue line can be deployed out of one end for short reach situations like towing a boat or lining a boat up a steep bank. A 55 foot length can be deployed out of the other end in the standard fashion for long reach or throwing rescue situations.

urethane coated 500d Cordura bag

Included anodized wire-gate carabineer conceals in pocket


Also available is the Golden Retriever

Same specs as the Retriever but loaded with 55-foot, 5/16" 2500-pound Spectra core rope.
Spectra is the ultimate strength to weight ratio of rope available to consumers for safety applications. It easily doubles the breaking strength of standard Kernmantle ropes of the same diameter.
