Palm Cowtail Pro - Key Features

Rescue strapPalm Cowtail Pro is the absolute leader in active safety equipment for wild water. This model has been developed with the extreme load and reliability required by professional instructors, mountain guides and rescue services in mind. The main feature of the Pro version ishigh static strength 10 kNthat far exceeds the standard requirements for conventional boat towing. The Cowtail is designed as a compact elastic element that does not interfere with the rider's movement when at rest, but provides instant reach and flexibility for safely releasing material or assisting another vessel when needed. Compared to competitive models, the Palm Pro uses a reinforced 25mm nylon webbing and precision safety stitching, making it an indispensable tool for anyone navigating the rugged terrain of WW3 and above.

Design, stability and control

ConstructionPalm Cowtail Pro is based on tubular webbing technology, inside of which is a high-quality elastic core. This combination ensures a smooth pull and effective force absorption under sudden loads. At rest, the webbing is 50 cm long, minimising the risk of unintentional snagging on obstacles in the river or on the paddle itself. When fully extended it reaches a length of 75 cm, which is the ideal dimension for handling the boat in the current. The key component is the massivewelded stainless steel O-ringwhich ensures smooth movement of the strap on the chest harness of the buoyancy vest. This ring is highly polished to slip out of the safety buckle of the vest in the event of an emergency blast, which is a critical factor for rider safety in crisis situations.

Comfort and safety

Palm Cowtail Pro is equipped with a sophisticatedby outfitting, which is optimised for rapid deployment and maximum protection of both user and material:

• Integrated shock absorber - The elastic core absorbs shock energy during towing, protecting the rescuer's back and the anchor points on boats.
• Welded stainless steel ring - guarantees maximum strength and eliminates the risk of the joint coming apart under extreme tension.
• Colour-coded bar-tack stitching - strength seams are made in a contrasting colour for easy visual inspection of material integrity and wear.
• High visibility - bright colour design (Flame/Yellow) ensures that the strap is clearly visible even in white foam or during rescue operations in twilight.
