Review on 🚣 Zixar Water Rescue Throw Bag - 70/98 ft Rope, 3/10" Tensile Strength Rated 1844lbs - Kayaking, Rafting, Safety Equipment for Raft & Boat by Francis Heart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little rescue rope but not ready for use on arrival!

We bought this to take to the beach with a group of eighth graders when there was no lifeguard on duty (along with a throwing buoy... so it was mostly for rope). Although we didn't have to save anyone, we used it as a clothesline outside our cabin and it became apparent that the rope was tangled inside and couldn't flow freely in an emergency. So an important tip: practice removing the rope and putting it back in your bag until you're sure you've done it right. It can mean the difference between life and death!

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring package
