River Station's new Zip-Hip Pack was designed to be very safe. A 55' easy to stuff throw bag sits inside of a full zipper pack. When used properly, there is no chance of any rope coming out. Even after a rough swim, your rope will be there with you. The new version includes a carabiner pocket on the front and now has 55' of rope rather than 50 in the old version. This pack is great for kayakers who also guide rafts because it can be used as a waist throw bag, or the compact throw bag can be taken out and fits perfectly in the cupholder of your kayak. The whole pack is on a quick release system to ditch everything quickly in the event of getting snagged. The pack itself also doubles as a day pack for side canyon hikes. So many color combos to choose from as you can mix and match the hip pack color and the throw bag colors! CARABINER NOT INCLUDED*

Carabiner Pocket: The new model has a carabiner pocket! This has been highly requested. Carrying a carabiner on you safely is a great idea. Carabiners come in handy for all sorts of things out on the river. The pocket really could be used for just about anything small though!
