The strong NRS Tow Tether, with built-in bungee, is used with the quick-release harnesses on rescue life jackets. Tow Tether length: 33″: Stretched length is 33″, unstretched is 19″ 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.
