River Rescue Throw Bag
Hyperlite Mountain Gear is not about bells and whistles, nonessential features, or the latest trending colors. We manufacture stripped down, high performance gear that’s been dialed in to meet, in as minimalist a manner as possible, the exacting requirements of the people who use it. The River Rescue Throw Bag is built with ultralight, super-tough, 100% waterproof Dyneema Composite Fabrics, and it contains 65.0ft | 19.8m of Ultraline Water Rescue Rope from Sterling. It’s designed to be worn at all times, so whether you’re in your boat or not, you’ll have quick and easy access to it should trouble arise.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The River Rescue Throw Bag is an ultralight swift water rescue device designed to provide aid to boaters that have been separated from their boats.
Periodically check your River Rescue Throw Bag fabric, pockets, straps, buckles, and adjusters for signs of stress or tears and repair any damage before continued use.
Take the time on a dry, sunny day to spot-clean any areas that need it. A soft damp cloth and a mild soap (non-detergent and non-oil based soaps work well, do not bleach). Air-dry your River Rescue Throw Bag and Rope by leaving it out to hang-dry. Make sure it is completely dry before long term storage.
