33307, Deciding on a new float tube... which one of these?
Posted by anglerbg, Fri Apr-07-06 05:39 PM
I'm looking to buy my second float tube. I have an ODC 420 right now which is great, but I've decided I want something more lightwieght and that packs down smaller. (The ODC is 16 lbs and the foam seats restrict packing.) I've narrowed it down to two tubes, and was wondering which one you guys, from experience, think would be better:
the new '06 model High Adventure from Buck's Bags
or the Caddis Navigator IV (or the Nav. II is you name know an important difference betweem the two.)
I know both of these brands are used by a lot of you guys. Anyhow, any help you can give is awesome, and much appreciated. Thanks.

Outcast makes the Trinity, which packs down very nicely... not cheap at $350, but a great boat. One of my friends has one and I've seen it take some abuse.

I have a Nav 4 and it's very light and packable. You can pick one up for pretty cheap when they're on sale too. I've seen them for as low as around $70. Great warranty also.
