The towing belt has two ends, one of which has a buckle for adjustment of the belt length. The other end has hooked pile fastening material strips to form an openable towing loop. The loop can be formed as a hand loop or as a rip cord D-ring. The hooked pile strip carrying end of the web can be attached to the length of the belt, so that the belt width in the region of the loop can have a reduced hooked pile strip width, and the locking face of the strips makes a 90 degree angle with the belt section fitting over the users hip.
