The Vertex Pro Backband brings game-changing advances in on-water safety for the packraft community with a simple, efficient design. Developed through testing on our backyard runs, the fully adjustable backband secures a throw bag out of the way when paddling and converts to a waist belt for on–person throw bag access when on shore.
Features
- Three-point attachment system is fully adjustable to customize backband tension and position.
- Custom one-piece molded 3D EVA construction reduces weight, increases ventilation & drying while providing ample back support.
- Integrated storage on the back side of the Vertex Pro Backband is designed to securely hold the NRS Backband Throw Rope.
- 1.5" webbing with quick-release buckle converts backband to a waistbelt for on-person throwbag access when scouting, portaging or setting safety.
- NRS Backband Throw Rope was engineered for packrafting use, with 70 ft. of polypropylene floating rope with a Spectra™ core and minimal snag hazards.
- The flared opening helps deploy and load rope easily; a heavy-duty plastic snap secures bag when closed.
- Custom aluminum hardware attachments provide a more efficient transfer of energy that translates to safer, more efficient paddling.
- Vertex Pro Backband and backband strap are interchangeable with all NRS Vertex Outfitting. Packrafts can be retrofitted with Vertex Outfitting using our Vertex Hardware Patches.
