Description
The HF Compact Syntec is a top-tier rescue device for alpine whitewater paddlers, expedition paddlers, raft guides and professional rescue services.
The Compact Syntec is a very lightweight throw bag with comprehensive equipment and an extremely strong rope (2,400 daN breaking strength to DIN standard).
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 rope end. If you have any questions about this, you can reach us anytime on +43 512 546710.
Using this rescue device must be practised regularly. For example, you could set yourself the challenge of throwing the throw bag twice with precision at the start of every paddling trip. For more essential safety input, check out our Safety Course!
