This gear review was originally published in Rapid magazine.
Stuffed with 75 feet of 1,600-pound tensile strength, 5/16-inch WaterLine, the Sharpshooter had us feeling confident on the river. A great choice for guides and rescue professionals, H2O’s double-stitched heavy-duty Cordura throw bag also comes with a quick-release belt for waist-wearing, reflective taping and a luminary pouch for glow sticks. No second- guessing needed—all of H2O’s kit is designed by whitewater rescue pros and stitched and stuffed in America.
High Sign: Built for real life rescues, not just to satisfy legal boating requirements.
Low Sign: The blue bag we demoed isn’t super high visibility—the orange option is the better bet.
