We have these in blue, red, & yellow at the moment, and we will do free shipping or orders of three or more Rocky Mountain brand tubes. They can be a mix of any 3 or more styles and sizes of Rocky's. The price has also been lowered for 10% this spring.
RMR RTD-44 River Float Tube with 44" circumference and 12" diameter tubes enlarging to 14.5" on one side for better seating comfort.
Rocky Mountain Rafts has come out with two sizes & two styles of river float tubes this year. We haven’t settled on which colors to stock yet, but blue and lime are the main choices for now. These tubes feature the strong RMR boat fabric and high end Leafield D-7 valves. They have two handles like all tubes, and a beefy self draining floor. There is also a towing D-ring.
The two sizes are 44” diameter and 48”. To this point in time the only other quality 48” has been the NRS Big River tube, which is a bladderized model with a nylon fabric upper section. The RMR tubes use no bladders, which means the drying time will be faster with no chance of mildew.
As mentioned above there are also two styles of RMR river tubes. The standard version is known as the RTR series, with the tube diameter the same all around, just as with every other brand. But for ten dollars more, they are also producing an RTD model in 44” and 48”, with the “D” standing for Diminishing. The tube is smaller on one side, which allows a lower and more natural position for your legs. Depending on diameter and style, the Rocky tubes run from $195 to $215, making them not only competitive with other tube makers, but arguably a better value than any brand.
