⚡ At a Glance
- • Throwing Range: 60m UHMWPE line, 2mm diameter, designed for long, low-drag casts
- • Best for: Arborists, tree surgeons and climbers needing reliable line placement
- • Not ideal for: Users who require a complete pre-rigged rope system
XPAC five-layer exterior combines abrasion resistance with a lead-filled interior to weight the bag. A 60m UHMWPE throwing line and round stainless steel ring are included for quick setup.
Accurate, long-distance casts – with a lead-filled core and XPAC shell
Lead filling concentrates mass into a compact throwing weight while the XPAC five-layer fabric resists abrasion and helps the bag pass through branches. The combination stabilises the bag in flight for more predictable trajectories.
Heavier, durable construction helps land lines where intended and reduces the chance of snagging during casts.
Fast rigging connections – thanks to a round stainless steel ring
A round stainless steel ring is fitted to the bag to provide a secure, low-profile attachment point for the throwing line. The ring allows the rope to feed smoothly when casting and retrieving.
Quick threading and reliable connections cut setup time when placing high lines or preparing swings.
Reach higher from the ground – with a 60m UHMWPE throwing line, 2mm diameter
UHMWPE rope offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and minimal stretch, while the 2mm diameter reduces wind resistance and passes more easily through tight canopy gaps. Sixty metres of line extends reach for taller trees.
Ability to place lines at height from the ground makes solo or small-team work more efficient and safer.
