What the media is saying

“Nothing makes you better at triathlon open-water swimming more than open-water swimming itself—but of course safety in the open water is important too... This little lightweight belt-plus-mini-fanny-pack device straps around your waist and has a pull tab that automatically inflates when you need it... it’ll provide enough floatation and visibility if you get into trouble.”

"I was impressed with the build quality of the Restube... and at the range of situations where it would be the perfect safety solution. Streamlined and unobtrusive but there when I need it, it is definitely a useful addition to my kit bag. The pouch sat comfortably in the small of my back and I barely noticed it while swimming... The float released easily and was comfortable to rest on, supporting my weight."

“Restube is a convenient safety device and can be used for swimming and many other water sports. If you want to swim in open water safe in the knowledge that if you get in to trouble or a fellow swimmer gets in to trouble the Restube means you have a safety buoy with you. It’s comfortable to swim with and you forget it’s there but when you need it, it inflates quickly with a firm tug on the cord.”
