Permanently kinked
"The inflation tube on my new Rogue R-Deck came bent in half inside a small plastic envelope. It is permanently kinked right in the middle now and doesn’t inflate the boat well."
Comes apart easily
"Comes apart very easily when in the sun. The top blew right out and got lost. Both ends could have used fatter tubing to lock them in or a spring clip. The end pieces are not barbed so one they hit moisture and heat, they slide right out."
Tube permanently kinked
"This came folded up in a bag that caused the clear tube to bed and kink in 2 places. That tubings is stiff enough that the kinks are never going come out of it. I even tried a heat gun to soften it a bit. In the end I cut off the clear tube and replaced it with latex rubber tubing which is very soft and wont ever kink."
Open water top off
"I find it easier to blow into the valve, but this is great to keep in the backband pocket incase you need to top your raft off while out in the middle of the lake since the valve is behind you."
Inflation tube end pieces slipping or twisting out
"The snug fit mouthpiece valve and the end piece that inserts into the raft valve both slipped or twisted out of the clear plastic tube after a few days of use, which then leaked air and precluded me from topping off my raft properly. Using Aquaseal to glue the end pieces to the tube apparently worked."
