Throwlines

The HF Equipment Shark Throw Bag is a great piece of kayaking safety gear. But it stands out as the top consideration for water rescue teams. The Shark is the highest specification rescue bag that we offer, why we hear you ask! It is amazingly simple; the internal rescue line is 9mm in diameter and measures 20m in length. So, what makes this special? It is the fact that it comes with an EN1891 rating. This means that not only can it be used for water rescue, but you can also abseil on it if required. The Shark throw bag has a roll top close design, which incorporates handles for ease of packing. It features sewn eyelets in the back of the bag so it can be waist mounted and has an internal pocket which is perfect for storing a screw gate karabiner.

The Palm Pro Throwline is available in three lengths, 15m, 20m and 25m to ensure the best performance. These are great for sports such as Kayaking, Open Canoeing, and Gorge Walking. But they are really part of the Palm Equipment Professional Rescue range. The Pro Throwline is one of the most popular choices for Water Rescue Teams. The bag itself features a cylindrical design and incorporates a 500D Cordura constriction. The top of the bag features a large collar, which makes it easy to repack the bag after deployment. Whilst the bright colour and reflective detailing make it highly visible. Internally, there is an 11mm rope which incorporates a 100daN or 10kN breaking strength rope, which is amazingly easy to handle when in use.

The HF Equipment Compact Thirty Throw Bag, is the best option when you need an extra-long reach. Whilst this is a great piece of kayak safety gear, at 30m in length it is more suitable for larger alpine rivers. It remains immensely popular in the professional water rescue market and the commercial market for the man overboard situation. The Compact Thirty Throw Bag has a cylinder style design with a large neck opening for ease of repacking, whilst the push button fastener on the neck makes for easy closure. The Cordura construction is tough and durable, whilst the reflective detailing makes it highly visible. The base of the bag contains technical specifications and features an easy-to-use carry handle.
