°hf Shark

Product detailed description

°hf Shark - key features

Rescue bagShark represents the pinnacle of technical signalling and rescue. Unlike conventional throwing bags, which focus primarily on ease of throwing, the Shark emphasizes professional rope handling. It is fitted with a 9mm static rope with a capacity in excess of 30 kN, providing a huge safety margin when building hoists and retrieving heavy loads. Thanks to the impregnation, the rope does not absorb water, remains light and is great to handle even in extreme conditions. The flat design of the bag ensures that it does not get in the way when worn on the belt, but is immediately ready for action when needed.

Technical design and safety

BagShark is constructed according to the principle"Clean Line"which eliminates external loops and minimizes the risk of entrapment. For maximum rescue efficiency, it includes an internal padded carabiner pocket that protects it from impact and ensures quick accessibility. The buckle closure combined with the integrated handle allows for precise throwing from below and above. Distinctive reflective tape and signal colours ensure visibility in challenging light conditions. The rope itself meets the EN 1891 standard, which makes it a certified working and canyoning aid with very low elongation (3.6%).

Comfort and functional details

°hf Shark offers parameters that professional users will appreciate:

• High Safety Reserve - extreme tensile strength of 3000 daN (even with the knot still safe 1860 daN).
• Tendon Canyoning Rope - 20 m of impregnated rope that is abrasion and water resistant.
• Internal Padded Compartment - safe inner zone for storing the carabiner.
• System Loops - lugs for stable attachment to the rescue hip belt °hf.
• D-ring - stainless steel fixing point for securing the bag in the boat.

What is it suitable for?

Due to its specificity, Shark is designed for specific target groups:

✅Professional rescue services (Fire and Rescue Service, water rescuers) - ideal for technical rescue from wild water.
✅Expedition paddling in remote areas - where absolute reliability is required in the recovery of ships.
✅Canyoning and technical disciplines - thanks to the certification of the rope and its resistance to moisture.
⚠️Warning: For regular recreational paddling, we recommend standard models (e.g. Weasel or Big Fish), which are lighter and easier to cast.
