River Bean 3 Metre Towline
The River Bean 3 metre towline is for operations on water for towing water craft and kayak/canoe/SUP/SOT retrieval. Suitable for slow moving water, estuaries, coastal zones, lakes, canals.
- 3 metre floating rope
- shockcord damper
- stainless snag free Kraken karabiner
- compact ergonomic water pouch
- quick release waist buckle
- adjustable 40mm belt
- towline connected directly to main belt
Towline and karabiner is stowed inside the water pouch. The ergonomic flared opening allows easy repacking on the water.
To use wear the belt loose enough so that it can rotate around your torso when in use. Therefore you can grab the pouch in front of you and deploy the towline then allow the belt to spin around so that the tow is behind you and the quick release buckle is in front.
Belt Safety Advice
Adjust the belt length to fit your waist so that the large main quick release buckle is central in front and the towbag is aligned central to the rear. To adjust use the belt slider and also use the webbing through the main buckle. Adjust whilst wearing kit you will be using on the water. Once the belt is adjusted to fit you there will be excess webbing tailing out of the main buckle. It is highly recommended to cut the excess tail so that a very short length tail remains: tail length approx 8cm.

Cut the tail using sharp scissors or a hot knife. Make sure the end edge is melted and flat so there are no rough burrs. A short tail will allow a much quicker release of the belt in an emergency.
