Description
The HF Compact Syntec is a top-of-the-line rescue device for alpine whitewater paddlers, expeditioners, raft guides and professional rescue services.
The Compact Syntec is a very lightweight throw bag with extensive features and extremely tear-resistant rope (2.4 "tons" breaking load according to DIN).
As a kayaking school, we recommend removing the plastic sleeve around the bottom loop before using the rope for kayaking. Firstly, it prevents the rope from drying properly. Secondly – and this is really important – the loop is relatively large. Because of this, smaller hands can slip through the loop, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Therefore, it's necessary to make the loop smaller. Following the "clean line principle," we also recommend removing the loop and the plastic sleeve from the end of the rope. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at +43 512 546710.
The use of this rescue device must be practiced regularly. For example, you could challenge yourself to accurately throw the throw bag twice at the beginning of each canoe trip. For even more important information, why not attend our Safety Course?
