Flexible Flyer Heavy-Duty Towable Commercial Snow Tube

No problems! Cleans with wet rag. Super fast!!! Beware when letting kids ride. Check the schrader ( fill valves ) to make sure they are tight. Filled to my desired pressure. Looked good to me for pressures on the tube and seat. Read their instructions . Glad we bought this one. Heavy duty. Used Pam on the bottom . Rubbed it around the pan bottom. Leader is long enough to get rider going. I deflated the tubes and loosened the fill valves when done for the season.

I got tired of replacing sleds. Last year I went through at least 5 of the snow tubes you buy at Target for $20. All of them have holes and I don’t think any of them lasted a full day. I just bought this for my kids. I was amazed at the size of the box it comes in. This sled is BIG. It’s 2 inches bigger than the extra-large LL Bean snow tube, which is the other heavy-duty sled I considered buying. I didn’t realize that this sled actually comes with 2 tubes. A second mini tube fits in the first one to create a padded seat. Wow, cool. I like that the valve stems are short and covered with rubber for safety. It took me about 15 minutes to pump up the tubes with a bike pump. You could also just get air at a gas station. This is a really well-made sled, but not everything was perfect. Though assembly is simple, it didn’t come with instructions. For instance, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to insert the black tube in the fabric shell with the value facing up or down? I inserted the tube with the value pointing up so I could easily reach it. But now that I see the whole sled assembled, I think it would be more out of the way and better pointing down. Also, the valve stem insert on the smaller tube was loose. I was able to screw it tight with the tip of a small screwdriver. Bike stores have a valve stem tool that will fix this in 5 seconds (you could probably also use the tip of a knife or needle nose pliers if you have them). But it’s annoying on a premium sled like this. Pros - Super durable - Comes with an inflatable seat cushion (comes with two tubes) - Big - Strong tow strap Cons - Heavy – This is also what makes it so sturdy - Valve Stem Loose – Easy to fix. But it should be right to start with

My grandchildren lived the sled! Very sturdy. I was pleased with the quality of the product.

Great product - commercial grade - a little expensive, but should last for years. A couple suggestions, leave the little tube a little under inflated so it works like a shock absorber for your bottom. I would also recommend storing the tubes in a cool dark place away from sunlight and heat when not in use to lengthen the inner tubes life. I wish I had something like this as a kid, back when we had gotten a lot more snow. Enjoy!!

Only 40 in diameter. Not as advertised. Seller verified that they do not make 42 in tubes.
