I have yet to use this in an emergency situation, but i have practiced a few times and it is easy to throw, and simple to use. It's small and will fit in anywhere in your boat. No reason not to have one.

Before the plan was just to throw a rope. This product gives the added weight of the rope being in the bag to aim perfectly knowing the rope will get not only the aim but also the distance needed in a "one time shot moment". Hopefully I'll never have to used it but if I do this product gives me more confidence then ever to get the job done.

Nice standard throw bag. Rating is strong enough to rap on (not fall!) if need be. I put a lot of tension on my last one as part of a z -drag and have retired it to use as a bow line. It works terrific for that as well.

If you're paddling on the water you should have a throw bag (along with training to use it). NRS makes THE standard.

According to the tracking # this was delivered a week ago. Only problem is I was there checking my mailbox two days ago and it had still not arrived. UPS sure post means UPS drops it at the post office. I'm still waiting for it. The post office says they delivered it. I'm disappointed in the shipping results and don't know if I like the product because I have not seen it yet.

Awesome must have rope for your water sports. I bought a couple of these to put on my rafts and love them. Gotta have them for safety and they aren't too expensive for rescue ropes.

Quality throw bag, rope is high quality and the bag its self is highly durable material. My bag has been sitting in the bottom of the boat for days on end and shows little wear. Big bag holds plenty of rope for when things go south.

A throw rope is one of those essential items that all paddles must have with them while on the river. This is the one I trust! Its a simple items that consist of a good quality rope that stuffs into a very durable bag. Most of the bag has a solid fabric layer that can be filled with water for weight if need for an extra quick throw. The top third is made of a mesh fabric that helps with quick draining when needed. (For drying, I'd recommend pulling the whole thing out to make sure it completely dries.) The rope passes through a hole in the bottom of the bag and is secured with a knot on each side. There is a piece of foam in the bottom that keeps it afloat and ads an extra layer between your knots. It also has a draw string at the top opening that closes everything up and keeps the rope inside. This bag works great for a throw rope. The weight and size of the bag make it easy to get good, accurate throws. The big reason that I like this bag more then some others is the sizes. Yes its bigger then most, but I can keep it strapped in my boat between my legs and it is right in reach when I need it. Since it is heavier duty then most, I trust it for situations other then just throw rescues. It is a great rope for setting anchors, creating Z-Drags, conducting V-lowers, etc. When I'm setting safety over a class 5 drop, its a great feeling knowing you can trust your anchors. This bag paired with a Astral throw bag completes a great safety pack by having the quick boat based bag in your PDF and the heavy duty shore based bag tucked inside your boat. The more options the better! This is a great item to have in all those situation in which we hope we never get into.

I lead trips with Georgia techs outdoor program and these are the ropes we buy to use with our students. They go on lots of trips and are abused. And they stand up great and work perfectly. Wouldn't leave the house with out one.

I used this bag as a commercial guide and loved it. It is a big bag that allows the rope to come out unimpeded and for easy, fast flaking back into the bag. When wet even those users that aren't as strong will be able to through the full 75 feet. The bag and rope both float and the strap on top allows you to clip it where you would like it. Bottom line, it is a very easy to use, very efficient rope.
