Integrated Throwbags
At Astral we believe that paddlers should carry a rope at all times. Make this your motto with our integrated Throwbags that fit in or behind the front pocket of many of our jackets. Choose from Polypro for basic swimmer rescues or Spectra where more complex mechanical advantage systems are required. These bags are always with you, even if your boat is not.
