ThrowRaft has created the world's first inflatable, compact and throwable Type IV that's approved by the United States Coast Guard (Approval 160.049/275/0). Meets Type IV Carriage Requirement for all recreational vessels in US waters, so it can replace your boat's square cushion or ring buoy.

Can be thrown either packed (up to 40 feet) or fully inflated
Packed size is five times smaller than a square cushion, nine times smaller than a ring buoy
Higher buoyancy (20lb. - 90N) and larger deployed size that a throwable cushion (22" x 21")
Highly visible in a search and rescue operation
Made in the USA

Product Testing

There are over 35 U.S. Coast Guard tests conducted to achieve and maintain ThrowRaft's TD2401 approval. Testing is continuous in every manufacturing step to ensure each device exceeds U.S. Coast Guard requirements. A few tests include:

Puncture Resistance: Similar to USCG approved inflatable life jackets, the device must resist being punctured when inflated
Throw Tests: The device must be thrown with accuracy in the inflated and packed position
Water Spray Test: The device is exposed to water spray in the packed position and cannot unintentionally inflate
Uninflated Buoyancy Test: The device is unarmed and submerged underwater for an extended period of time. It is then released and must float to the surface unassisted
Grab Strap Tensile Test: The device’s grab straps must suspend 150 lbs of weight off the ground for an extended period of time
Rearm and Repack Test: The device must be rearmed and repacked by an unfamiliar user with ease
Drop Test: The device must auto inflate after being dropped into water from 110 feet
