Tubes that last

[jergar999]

I have pulled tubes twice now and twice tubes have failed. One split near the inflation seal and the other just popped. I am inflating them to the psi prescribed by the manufacturer, am careful not to touch the ground with them, and I just don't get it. Any advice on what brands to buy or anything else to help them last?

I bought an o'brien tube with a skirt for behind the boat and it's lasted me 4 or 5 years. Been pulled behind the boat and floating the river ever since. The heavy vinyl tubes last the longest.

Tubes that last...so far

Typically any two piece tubes that have an outside nylon shell and a separate inside inflatable portion work best and are more durable. I have a single rider "Sportstuff" tube, and a two person "OBrien", which I picked up from Bass Pro near the end of the boating season. (They put them on sale up to 40% off:hurray. So far they've lasted 3 years and going strong.
