The HF Equipment Compact Classic throw bag is one of the most important bits of kayak safety gear out there. A throw line is not only essential in white water kayaking, but also a much-needed item for other watersports such as coasteering, rafting, and gorge walking. This throw bag enables you to decant / throw a length of rope to a kayaker, who is in trouble and needs rescuing. The Compact Classic throw bag features a 20m length of 8mm 8-plaited rope. It also incorporates a tensile strength of 1100daN. With a tough and durable Cordura shell and a plastic reinforced handle on the base of the bag, this is quite easy to use. A push stud easily secures the opening of the neck, and the d ring makes for easy securing into your kayak.
