As the Full On Vest continues to be refined and perfected, Kev England's been doing some sewing of his own-making some much needed and heavily requested throw bags for the new season. Sitting back behind the machine felt a lot better than I'd expected. Creativity is good!
The resulting throw bag is the bomb. It's got a solid closure, easy stuff opening, bomber construction, highly visible, floats and is waist wearable. It's filled with floating spectra, or a more economical polypropylene, for the class 3 enthusiasts.
The product line is growing to include some simple yet effective rescue gear that's designed specifically for the river. A simple 15mm Dyneema sling, open ended, 2.5m long has long been a preferred item on the river. Stowed in the chest pocket, it works as a short throw rope, flip line, tie off, lowering sling, anchor sling, etc., etc...Anyway, we've now got a bombproof, bar-tacked Dyneema sling in the product line! It's a space saving option over tubular tape, and stronger. Also, sewn prussics save space and weight over their knotted cousins, so we've sourced these too.
Don't worry, the all new 2010 Full On Vest will be available soon!!! My next post will show you what it looks like!
