NRS Tow Tether with Carabiner

Price range: $49.95 through $54.95

The NRS Tow Tether with Carabiner is designed for use with the quick release harness on rescue PFDs, providing a secure connection for towing boats and other rescue applications. The built in bungee is available in 33 inch and 53 inch stretched lengths, while the included large forged aluminum O ring is rated to 33 kN. The tether includes an NRS Nuq Twist Lock Carabiner to help prevent accidental snagging, along with hook and loop attachment points that help center the O ring and keep the carabiner secured and easily accessible on compatible rescue PFDs.

The strong NRS Tow Tether, with built-in bungee, is used with the quick-release harnesses on rescue life jackets.

  • The Tow Tether, sometimes called a "cow tail," enhances towing boats in rescue situations.
  • The O-ring includes a hook patch of hook-and-loop material that facilitates centering of the O-ring on vests that have the loop material sewn on in the back.
  • The Tether also has a hook patch on the carabiner end. This mates with a loop piece available on some rescue PFDs, forming a quick-release holder for the carabiner.
  • The NRS Nuq Twist Lock Carabiner prevents accidental snag on brush in the field or with other gear.
