Questions about the Guardian Wedge Waist Throw Bag
Can the throw bag be removed from the waist belt?
Yes. The internal Wedge Throw Bag comes completely free from the waist belt.
How long is the rope and how strong is it?
It holds 55 feet of 1/4 inch polypropylene rope with a maximum tensile strength of 950 lbs. (4.22 kN). Knots reduce a rope's tensile strength, so NRS makes no claim about the strength of the bag as a whole; the maximum load listed is for the rope alone.
Can I get out of the belt quickly?
Yes. The adjustable waist belt has a quick-release buckle for a safe exit in an emergency.
Can I carry carabiners on it?
Yes. Webbing loops along the belt let you attach carabiners.
Is the Guardian Wedge Waist Throw Bag flame resistant or rated for firefighting?
No. It is water rescue gear, not flame resistant, not structural firefighting PPE and not NFPA 1971 certified. Keep it away from fire and high heat.
