Mountain Survival Bands

The River Bend combines survival functionality with a stylish look and comfortable fit.  On average the River Bend has 6 to 8 feet of paracord.  The River Bend is not as wide as the cobra so if your looking for something a little smaller this may be what your looking for.  The River Bend also has a some elastisity giving it a nice feel.

The cord used in all of our Bands is high quality, durable (450 to 550 pound test) and great in an emergency. When an emergency situation comes up you simple unravel the band and make use of the cord available. If you use your band in an emergency situation, just send us whats left of your band along with your experience and we will make you a new one (shipping charges apply).

We offer three different types of closures for your band.

• The default closure is a Loop and Knot type closure. The Loop and Knot closure is made from the paracord with a loop on one end and a diamond knot on the other. The loop slides over the knot to hold it together.  The knot closure makes your band reversable.
• The plastic side release buckle is a popular choice for keeping your band secured to your wrist. Its easy to fasten and will hold up to all the bumps, scapes and pressure placed against it during your everyday tasks.
• The final closure option is the stainless steel shackle. The shackle is the choice for the person who really wants an extremly durable closure. Our shackles are very tough with over 500 pound working load, it can be used in an emergency along with your cord. The shackle is a little harder to fasten to your wrist but after a little practice becomes quick and easy. It lies flat on your wrist and will stay put until needed.  the shackle closure makes your band reversable.

To receive the correct size band, pick your WRIST size from the drop down menu. Please provide us with your actual wrist measurement. To measure, use a string to wrap around your wrist and then measure the string. Make sure the string is making contact with our skin all the way around your wrist and that the string is not tight or digging into your skin. Let us know this exact size. If you are in between sizes, pick the larger size. If your Band is to large when you receive it, you can shrink it down. Soak it in a sink a couple of times. Get it completely soaked and let it dry. Within a couple of days, it will shrink down by approximately 1/4".

Please keep in mind that the average wrist size for a male is 7" - 8", and average female wrist size is 6" - 7". If you are above or below these sizes, please double check your wrist measurement to confirm the size.
