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

• Tow Tether lengths:
  33": Stretched length is 33", unstretched is 19"
  53": Stretched length is 53", unstretched is 33"
  Add 6" to length for carabiner and metal O-ring
• The Tow Tether, sometimes called a "cow tail," enhances towing boats in rescue situations.
• The stainless steel 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 carabiner is a non-locking model, so stow it where it won't get snagged on something accidentally.

The Pilot Knife now has a little brother - the NRS Co-Pilot. Great features - smooth and serrated cutting edges, blunt safety tip, bottle opener, etc. Compact design is a fine fit on your PFD.

• An excellent knife for freshwater boating and rescue. For saltwater use, choose the NRS Titanium Co-Pilot Knife.
• For all of your cutting needs the Co-Pilot has both super-sharp smooth and serrated sections.
• The blunt tip design protects against unintentional puncture of your gear or yourself.
• As another safety feature, the blade is only sharpened on the one edge. This, along with the blunt tip, helps prevent injury in a tight rescue situation.
• The unique sheath firmly locks the knife in place and only lets it go when you squeeze both sides of the release.
• The comfortable rubberized grip wraps around the contoured handle, giving you maximum control of the blade.
• The sheath clip attaches firmly to a PFD lash tab.
• Also included in the handle are a bottle opener and an oxygen tank valve wrench.
