This throw bag from
°hf is a professional rescue device with comprehensive safety equipment. The 10 mm kernmantle rope is particularly grippy and is especially preferred by alpine whitewater paddlers. The Compact Alpin is also the right choice for safety posts at events and meets the safety standards for water rescue operations. If the weight of the Compact Alpin is too much for you (already over 1 kg dry), take a look at the
°hf Compact Syntec.
As a kayak school, we recommend removing the plastic tube around the bottom loop for kayak use. Firstly, it prevents the rope from drying properly. Secondly — and we think this is really important — the loop is quite large. This means that smaller hands can slip through the loop, which can potentially lead to dangerous situations. It's therefore necessary to make the loop smaller. Following the "clean-line principle", we also recommend removing the loop and plastic tube at the open rope end. If you have any questions about this, you can reach us anytime on +43 512 546710.
