Whetman have designed some throwlines that are very different to others available.
The priority in the design was to make the lightest throwline ever to be available and with the purpose to simply reach a swimmer and assist to a safer area. It is worth repeating this: to REACH a swimmer.
- The throwline bag is made of heavy duty polyester canvas.
- The closure is one buckle which can also be used to grip when throwing and when repacking
- Fitted into the base of the bag is a float.
- It is easy to access the end of the line and if needed tountie the line from the bag.
The bag shape is designed to be open to allow easy exit of the rope in deployement. The shape is like a cone offering a wide mouth for very easy repacking.
There are no elements on these bags that can corrode. These lines are suitable for marine applications such as coasteering and sea kayaking.
Belts loops are fitted to all throwlines to fit up to a 50mm webbing belt.
