palm ocean pro tow line This is one of the palm range which right away tells us its top quality kit. Beautifully designed and very practical all the fittings are top quality on this piece of very well designed kit . It’s very comfortable to wear even on the longest days when coiled away in the bag you would not know it was their. The floating rope attaches to a bungee section so all the shock is taken up when towing. the padded belt inside gives both good grip and compfortability to the user it won’t cut in to you while towing. the large plastic realise and lock button is east to operate even with the coldest hands the red ball makes it easy and quick to remove the belt if needed in an emergency . the strong plastic clip is easy to deploy and un-hook note the Velcro clip system which holds the plastic clip in place ready for quick action if needed This is a great tow line the quality is superb and I found it easy to re-pack even when wet I liked the strong padded feel of the belt it’s very comfortable to wear. It costs £39.99 which might seam a lot but when you see and feel the quality you are buying you realise how cheap this really is.

Looks like a well made bit of kit at a price not bad compared to some others on the market.
Was wondering how long the tow line was and how comfortable on the body it is when taking the strain towing a loaded kayak.
Am considering a body mounted tow rope such as this but keep reading they can be painful to use! Veering towards a deck mounted system instead - which may use my stern anchor trolley cleat for the quick release but being deck mounted it can't be shared with other yakkers so easily.

its 10 meters long i think i will go check that now to be sure for you . but it is very comfortable due to the wide belt and the cushioning triangles sewn in to the inside the bungee makes a big difference when towing it takes all the shock out of he job when not towing i find it very comfortable to wear all day you don't know its there .
