I have two of these taken them on only two float trips, but have held up surprisingly well through low waters dragging across the rocks

Absolute steal. Just realize these, while better built than many competitors, aren't made for rocky river floats or towing behind boats. I typically do 1-2 river floats with these, then relegate them to lake/pool use, as wear from rock collisions are cumulative.

These are the preferred river floating tubes. The doubles are nice too. Great deal, but I think I already have a handful of unopened ones.

Damn, I still have ones from 10-15 years ago. Probably 1,000 river miles on some of them. Guess we're lucky it's round rock instead of jagged rocks.

Water level and round rocks really help. Floating the Truckee from Tahoe City, you could probably have one tube for several years. But in Reno, the water level is too low and you have to come into it expecting a bruised butt. We usually bring an extra inflated tube on the float just-in-case someone gets a puncture on the float. Worst case, it can carry some beer and trash.😊

The best was like 8 years ago when one of those online outlet stores had like a 20 pack of River Rats for $4-5 per unit. River Rats suck to deflate. But they were cheap enough that I could go one one float, end up at the park downtown, and then just give it to a kid playing in the water.
