Favorite Tubes!
This is such a great tube we use it every year for floating down the river on the 4th of July! The tube holds up well and inflates easily. I like the quick deflate option for when you are finished with the float. The size is comfortable for a larger person too. The break away ropes to attach tubes together is nice. I wish the cup holders were a bit bigger to hold a water bottle, but they fit a can pretty well.

They are awesome!
Super awesome tubes! We went to a place with multiple cascades. We went down them 4 times and there were 4 to 5 cascades each time. They stayed inflated. We bumped multiple rocks. There weren't real sharp, but they weren't smooth either. The tubes held up. They are very comfortable. My son is 6 ft and it worked great for him. I highly recommend these tubes and I am very satisfied with them.

Great shade & stable
I purchased these to go lazy tubing and these held up amazingly. We went over some rapids, definitely got stuck under trees and for the most part, the canopy was a savior. In the end, the canopies did not survive for some of us, but they were an absolute lifesaver for floating down the river in the Arizona sun. They inflated very easily with an air pump, and a canopy were very easy to put together, and they deflated very fast when done. One downside was at the canopy was not movable. You couldn’t slide it behind you or in front of you or anything like that. It did a great job of keeping the sun off of your upper body and face, but it would’ve been nice to just be able to move it.

Good stuff. But very small
To small. I didn’t understand I wanted a bigger one. Too bad I had no way of knowing that. Sure they listed the size. But there is no frame of reference. Very well made however. Definitely good. Just know you’re gonna be small

So nice I ordered it twice!
I like to spend summers floating in the pool and this float with a canopy is perfect! I have not tried it 'in the wild' - river, lake, behind a boat - but it does everything I need in the pool! I got my first one last year, and had to get another this year, but I believe that is due to use error. I kept thinking I would get back in the pool, because the hot weather seems to last longer and longer, and I left it in the pool. For a year. Yes, I know, the warm weather doesn't last THAT long, I was lazy. I tried refilling the old one too, but the sun and pool water had done their damage and it wouldn't hold air. I will take better care of this one and see if it holds up for a second year. PROS: Nice canopy, great for the pool, easy to get in and out of, durable - kudos on construction - the seat was still in tact after a year in the pool and sun! That's amazing! CONS: Not really a con, but could be if you aren't aware. You need a motorized air pump to fill it up. I didn't pay attention the first time, well, didn't know what a Boston-valve was and was bummed when it arrived - thinking I had to get a special pump. To my surprise, it is the same kind of valve that is on an air mattress. (my air mattress came with a pump) I dug that out and filled it right up! Then it REALLY became my fav because I didn't have to blow it up using lung power. Hope this helps!

Buy this tube. It’s good. Trust me bro.
Went tubing at the canopy is awesome! Tube was quality and help up great even against rocks in the water. Good for a big adult man.

Disappointed
TLDR: flimsy material that doesn’t hold up the AZ Salt River. Lasted 2 1/2 trips. The shade acts like a sail but only to stall you out and does not help you get moving. Does not fully inflate. I bought this float and I was really looking forward to using it this summer at the Salt River in AZ. It lasted 2 1/2 trips. Every trip we stalled out multiple times due to the angling of the shade. It acts as a sail but not in any helpful way but in a way that makes you stuck anytime there’s a lull in the river. I’d get out and swim to get it moving again and then stall out only a few minutes later. We ended up having to take it down to keep moving. The float did not inflate all of the way for any of the trips. It does not hold up to rocks or getting bumped into a bank. Halfway through the third trip it broke at the seam and was irreparable. I ended up having to go back and rent tubes just to finish the trip we had planned. The two seater of a different brand we bought a previous summer was less expensive and is still going strong on its second year. This was a great idea that ended up being a waste of money.
