Split Apart Style Link Knife Bridle

We have received a few requests to incorporate a link knife style release into our split apart style tow bridles, so we have teamed up with Birren Design to provide you with this unique product. Release from the towline is achieved by actually severing the weak link, which allows for a positive release from any anticipated tow condition.

Black Tow Bridles are manufactured and packaged for individual Sale. Pink Tow Bridles are available for schools who elect to loan out equipment to students and need to quickly differentiate a school or customer bridle. Pink bridles are only sold to schools or training facilities and require a minimum purchase of 5 bridles. Special colors and custom embroidery are available for an additional charge, and require minimum order quantities. Contact us for details.

Hooking up our bridle to the tow system is simplicity itself. Drop your riser through our welded rectangular link and pass you harness carabiner through both the riser loop and the tow bridle loop. You are quickly connected to the tow system at the most optimum location. This system tows from the base of the riser, allowing good weight shift ability on tow. It also reduces side loading of harness carabiners or pulled stitching due to inappropriate tow attachment points. To improve the performance of your glider on tow, our bridles incorporate a towing assist system. Hooking your speed system to the included triangular stainless steel quick link allows the system to automatically trim your glider faster on tow, improving the performance of the glider and allowing greater comfort to the pilot. Release is made by simply pulling our large release loop to quickly separate the pilot from the tow line under any anticipated tow condition.

Our link knife bridle incorporates the Birren Design Link Knife as the release system. The weak link is looped through both tow eyes and the link knife release then connected to the end of the tow line. Pulling the handle, pulls the link knife, which severs the weak link, freeing the pilot from the tow line. Once released, the bridle splits apart. Split apart bridles are preferred for operations over water. In the event of a water landing, one piece bridles can make egress from the harness difficult, or impossible.
