Great design idea, poor execution
After doing a lot of research online to find some high quality lake/river floats, I finally decided on getting 2 of these Covered River Tube with Coolers. I'm semi-satisfied with this purchase, but there is certainly room for improvement. POSITIVES: 1)Thick plastic material seems durable 2)Lock together clips on both sides 3) Has 2 air flow valves so it inflates and deflates quickly/easily NEGATIVES: 1)Nylon only covers 1/2 of tube so you and the white part of the tube can get really hot 2) Nylon cover shifts & covers up over the can holder when your body moves 2)Cooler has zero insulation and the beers got so hot we both decided to quit drinking within 2-3 hours. "Cooler" is misleading description - it should be called "storage compartment" 3)When float is inflated, the can holder inflates too and expands to fill its own space making it difficult to take the can out and put it back each time you take a drink 4)The float does not have a back/neck rest 5)Neon yellow is only color choice

Durable and Fun
I have been using this float on the river next to my house without any issues. The mesh protects the tube from rocks in the rapids and the cooler can store plenty of drinks. My only complaint is that the mesh around the drink holder can shift making it difficult to use. I would also recommend using plenty of ice in the cooler since it isn’t insulated.
