The Python is a 5m length webbing sling designed specifically for river rescue applications. 

The Python has a ring on one end and an open loop to receive karabiners on the other. It has a breaking strength in excess of 10kN.

Python 5m which has a 6mm stainless steel ring and has yellow webbing.

The benefit of the ring is that it can often replace the need for a karabiner which are a scarce resource on the river.

The Python has a diverse number of uses.
  • It can work as an anchor in hauling, lowering boats & traversing the river.
 
  • The benefit of the ring being it can often replace a karabiner and receive other lines or webbing.
 
  • ​On the river karabiners are always in short supply and the rings can be invaluable to save karabiners for other tasks.
 
  • The ring can also be used as a pulley to create a Pig Rig when combined with two Pythons and two Ring Pull Prussiks - see below .
 
  • The Python can be a cowstail extension for work positioning a throwline deployment or belayer.
 
  • ​Very handy for portaging over rough ground & large boulders to haul & lower boats.
 
  • Short reach rescue: hold the ring in one hand and flick the coil out to reach to a close by swimmer. The rings acts as a stopper.
 
  • Raft Guide Flip Line: Used with a krab, clip the krab onto the gunnel line, throw the ring end of the Python over the upturned raft, grab it the other side, climb up & flip.

I ordered a paddle that was not in stock, I-canoe ordered it from the warehouse and got it delivered to France. The whole process was super smooth quick and easy. Wicked ! quote

Colm and the Team have been providing me with my gear for over a decade of paddling. Always knowledgeable about the equipment they are selling. You'll get a quality service in person, online or over the phone. Top brands reflecting the quality of the equipment and their relationship with suppliers to ensure ready amounts of stock. I've had no quibble returns on equipment that I've bought that didn't fit and replaced with the size I should have asked for within the same week. A quality return service. In all the years only once had I a warranty return and that was handled speedily professionally and delivered back to my door within the time frame discussed with me. The store is an Aladdin's cave of goodies. A massive thanks to Colm and his team for years of quality service and knowledge, experience and expertise. I highly recommend for all your watersports needs quote
