HIGH VISIBILITY RescueStreamer™

We are very pleased to announce a new product category to our list. This is a new, inexpensive and very effective safety product called RescueStreamer™. This product dramatically increases your visibility to the Search and Rescue Teams both on water and on land. It deploys in seconds, does not need batteries and does not depend on a GPS signal. It continues to work for you regardless of conditions. This is far superior to Sea Dyes and Flares. As this product was designed for military purposes, severe environmental testing was required. Some of these tests included extreme UV testing, 168 hour salt spray test, hydroscopic testing, and waves of 25 feet. The basis of these tests was to qualify the RescueStreamer™ for the Joint Strike Fighter Program and current Air Force and Navy pilot recovery programs. A variation using the same materials has subsequently been designed for commercial use.
