This season we stepped up our throw bag game and took our trusted Down River Throw Bags to the next level! Still made with our reliable UV resistant nylon and webbing, with a mesh bottom for easy draining and a foam insert for proper floatation, but we've added some upgrades! First, we installed a second grommet to the bottom of the bag allowing you to run your weight bearing knot so just the loop is exposed from the bag, and the rest of the knot is contained within the bag (See Photo). This system provides an easy attachment point for carabiners and mitigates the risk of entrapment by minimizing the amount of exposed rope. This system also contains the foam insert more securely. We've eliminated the loop bungee drawstring, and made it into two separate pieces of bungee, knotted on the end and fastened with a barrel lock to prevent the drawstring from wrapping around a limb. Finally, we tightened up the top webbing hand/attachment loop for easier buckle access and a tighter synch. These upgrades make for a much cleaner rescue tool.
Adding rope to moving water is always a dangerous task so we've done our best to mitigate that risk. You'll find our popular throw bags on just about any river, but now we've upped the industry safety standard. Time to get-on-board.
Foam insert assures the bag remains afloat. Drawstring and cordlock closure. Made of 420D packcloth and 1000D reinforcement. Side release buckle for secure attachment and rapid release.
Made of highly visible and durable Cordura®, NRS throw bags quickly secure to D-rings, boat frames or canoe thwarts with quick-release 1" straps. Internal flotation and floating rescue rope keep our Rescue Bags on top of the water. Polyethylene-sheathed grab loop makes it super quick and easy to hook on a carabiner. 2" mesh panel for better drainage and reduced dry time. Barrel-lock drawstring incorporated in a flared nylon top for smoother throws, plus easy reloading and closure. Pro models include reflective ticking on the black webbing along the sides for increased visibility. A convenient loop and "cup" hold a glow stick or "chem light". 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.
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. 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.
