Bestway43116E Hydro Force Rapid Rider Inflatable River Lake Pool Inner Tube Float with Built in Backrest and Wrap Around Grab Rope, Blue and White

Bought these for the family for a floating trip down the Delaware River in Pennsylvania and New York State. They held up great and did not puncture, which was my fear. They are large and comfortable and very easy to blow up with the right pump. The mesh on the bottom did not rip or tear. Better than I expected!

I used this for a tubing trip. It was easy to inflate and there is netting where the seating is which was comfortable. The only flaw is about an hour into the trip it started losing air slowly. It did last the 4 hour trip but by the end it was starting to lose shape

Very comfortable, inflates quickly & easily, used for floating around the Great Lakes and rivers. I will buy a couple more for our next river adventure.

I took this tube out twice in a 7-day period on a river that was a little shallow in spots so it was rubbing on the bottom rocks now and then. No pops/leaks/holes, so the tube is fairly durable so far. Are there more durable tubes out there? Yes but they seem to be 2-3x the price and all I'm doing is enjoying a few drink with friends and soaking up the sun on the river.Inflation is pretty straight forward. There are two air compartments - one for the head rest and the other for the tube body. It seems that tubes have the same valve systems attached so even an Intex hand-pump or powered inflation unit will work just fine to get you up and running. I don't love the valve block system on this tube compared to the Intex tubes just because it's the rubberized plug and not the plastic cap-lock that Intex has, so that's a small disadvantage. That being said, I made sure the first-stage plug was closed tight before inflating the tube and I had no leaks after that.Cup holders are adequate size for 12 oz cans and the mesh netting is holding up fine. I'll use it again once or twice this summer most likely and I expect it to performance just as well. By the way, I'm a bigger guy so it's not like I was glossing over the surface of the river so that tells me the only problems people have with this tube would be factory defective units shipped out - not "on the water" issues.
