Best Throwbag for Swiftwater and Whitewater Rafting
The belt/bag combo from Morice Equipment made huge improvements in successful throwbag throws for both our students and instructors. Here are a few of the reasons we love the Morice Throwbag.
Having a a bag that is always with you ensures there are no missed opportunities for a throwbag throw to a swimmer and improves odds of success because you can throw it to them sooner while they are closer to you.
Carrying the bag on your waist makes it much safer and far easier to swim with a throwbag to any spot on the river. Having it secured to your waist leaves both hands free for technical river scouts and access for rescue.
The bag holds 70’+ of our three ropes options , this ensures you have plenty of rope and expands your reach. This allows you to get your rope out to swimmers in a wide section or throw it across a river channel. The bag design allows for it to be quickly stuffed and reset, ensuring that you are ready to move quickly and be set for what ever comes up next.
Best Throwing ThrowBag for Swiftwater Rescue
Combined with the Sterling Ultra Line these waist mounted throw bags throw full length and very accurately.
We first discovered Morice Equipment waist mounted throwbags while teaching swiftwater rescue in Costa Rica. Being river gear nerds, we had to try it out. Playing with it and getting our hands on it, the quality of workmanship was incredible and it functioned much better than other similar ones we have tried. Not being able to buy one at the time we reached out to the small company owned by Christian Morice to get one. He was great to work with with and as a river person great to talk to about all the amazing rivers he is and has run.
Once we got ours and used it for a couple of seasons we loved it so much we worked with Christian, to bring them in to the US!
Depending on your preference we have the ability to pack them with either Sterling or Bluewater ropes.
Having a solidly built throwbag that improves your odds of success when throwing in a dynamic swiftwater situation is huge!
We are stoked to be able to get them into your hands a bit more simply and quickly, and have them available to you here.
