My Review of NRS Kayak Tow Line

Good except for belt

3out of 5

Pros: Easy to use, Good construction

Cons: Belt to short, Belt sewn in

Best Uses: Flat Waters, Kayak Camping, Towing, Day Trips

Was this a gift?: No

We use this when our 7 year old daughter gets tired when paddling on flat water. I would give this 5 stars except for the belt. I have a 34" waist & 42" chest so I'm not a big guy. My PFD has loops for a tow belt and the belt on this comes very close to not fitting. I may have an 1" or less of tail sticking out of the buckle and that is with the adjustment out as far as it can go. The belt should be at least 12" longer to make it adjustable for anyone to wear. Also with the belt fixed to the bag I couldn't ditch it if there was trouble. The belt should not be fixed for it to be a more versatile piece.
