We will do free shipping on orders of three or more Rocky Mountain brand tubes for the remainder of 2022. They can be a mix of any styles and sizes of Rocky's.
The Rocky Mountain RMR RTR-48 River Tube is for larger folks or those who want to minimize their draft on shallow streams. This listing is for the 48 inch circumference size.
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 what we will carry for starters. These tubes feature the strong RMR fabric and Bravo boat valves. They have two handles like all tubes, D-rings, and a beefy self draining floor.
The two sizes are 44” diameter and 48”. To this point in time the only other quality 48's have been the NRS Big River tube, which is a bladderized model with a nylon fabric upper section, and the new AIRE 48" Rocktabomb, which as of early 2021 is not yet available. 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 $195to $215, making them not only competitive with other tube makers, but arguably a better value than any brand.
