G Series life rings are made with solid closed cell foam throughout. They are soft and resilient to the touch and resist both weather and temperature extremes. "G" Series come with straps, but if you are looking for a life ring with the rope molded into the core, please see the "GX" models in "related products" below. The grab or heaving rope is attached to the life ring with circular strips of webbing. The webbing has been "double treated" with UV inhibitors to slow its ultimate deterioration by ultra-violet rays. USCG approved.
