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.

• 2" mesh panel for better drainage and reduced dry time.
• The 70' of 1/4" polypropylene rope is yellow for high visibility.
• The rope has a 950 pound tensile strength and it floats for good visibility on the water.
• A barrel-lock drawstring is incorporated in a flared nylon top for smoother throws, plus easy reloading and closure.
