It's not worth the moneyby S. Dam (1 out of 5 stars)

My friend bought this and only able to use it a few times. The few times her daughter used it, worked great and fun.
The issue is the inner tube that is cheap. It dried out and has a leak, so it won't hold air. I've contacted the seller multiple times about getting a replacement inner tube and no responses back at all thru their website.
If you're willing to spend over $140 for a disposable sled for a few uses, then this is the sled for you.
Save your money and do not buy this product. You'll end up disappointed for spending so much on a cheap product.
Super durable, More than worth 5 of the inflatable ones if you are in rugged areas with Sticks/Twig

Great Item, Ran all day on older slushy snow, which exposed underside to lots of branches and sticks which would have spelled doom for any other inflatable sled. Super fast as well, Smaller loads like Kids under 50 lbs. are like rockets on this one, recommend helmets.
I ran tandem with my 12 year old daughter, 300 lbs on sled, had no problem.
What you need to know.....
The valves on the inner tubes are standard Schrader valves, but to ship them in the packaging they came in, the cores to the valves were pulled out to vent them prior to shipment, and not put back in tight, so they need to be tightened, Also, a little grease or lube on the o-ring to the core is also good practice, Vaseline in a pinch. I advise buying a tire valve core tool if you are going to be inflating and deflating them often. (tool is like $4) at any tire place, and amazon has a lengthy list of 30 different types that range in price from $3 to $20. ($4 is all that is needed) Instead of holding the valve open with the ball point pen, you just remove the core to deflate, Takes most of work out of it.
These Inner-tubes take a lot to inflate, Air compressor a must. Note that bike pumps are A LOT of work to inflate these. - I had a compressor, :-)
The inner tubes are a descent grade, but are reinforced rubber, Super strong, but the tubes smell like a tire shop. Heavy rubber scent that can be hard to deal with if these are in an enclosed car. I had no issue with it, but my Wife and Mother-in Law had multiple thoughts about it and did not hesitate to offer their opinion. If hauling around, a pickup is advised or outside the car. For storage, recommend deflating tubes, Pulling out of bottom and the woopie cushion center inner tube, and putting into a trash bag and close it up to contain scent to keep storage area less smelly.
Handle with tether is great for pulling empty sled, not advised to pull with people on it. Put cooler on sled and pulled that, and the 20 lb cooler was about the limit of the tagline if you want that to last.
Sled will do great on new snow to icy and slushy conditions. On prepared runs, I can see other sleds with less surface area being a little faster, but in general this one is a great compromise on differing conditions. On another trip we went off on our own, we forged our own run in 2 day old powder, first pass, went about 30 yards, 2nd pass about 3-4 yards further, each additional run kept increasing length, etc, until we had a nice run about 75 yards long terminating in a flat area. Grade was only about 4 maybe 5%, if that, but made for tons of fun.
For best performance, try to lay flat across the tube and distribute your weight across the sled evenly, and then lay still. If you are not balanced, then the sled would have slightly more drag, to one side and slow you down just a hair, (note we had 2 sleds and races were pretty competitive)
So much fun! Highly recommended!

Met our exceptions this past weekend when we went tubing at a local State Park in the Cascade Mountains. This is no commercial tube, but much better than the cheap ones you find at Sports Authority. I would consider this a "prosumer grade" tube. Not as fast as a commercial tube, but was still very fun and durable. My wife and 2.5 year old daughter went down together with no problems. The tube maintained air pressure and the hard plastic bottom protected the tube from any sharp objects hiding under the snow.
The only unpleasant thing about this tube was the smell. Had I known how potent the odor was, I would have taken it out of the box and let it sit for a week before putting it in the back of the car. Unfortunately, this did not occur to me and the smell pretty much gave me a headache the whole drive to the park. So, PLEASE let this thing air out before putting it in your vehicle!
Disappointing quality

This snow tube had the description and appearance of a durable product and lived up to my expectations until the sides of the plastic tub started splitting out . Now, after only one week's use in 2' + of fresh snow, I'm stuck with return shipping costs for a 25 lb. package of broken toy. I expected better.
Poor quality tire tubes

I love the canvas/bottom plastic casing. Very well made and durable outer however the tubes that come with this are garbage. Made over seas and cannot handle light use. Have bought two slippery racers, one large tube would not hold air on first fill and one of the small tubes had a faulty stem and would not hold air. The second large tube began rotting the second season of light use (see photos). Always stored inside and was maybe used a total of 20 outings averaging a half hour of use. For the price of the slippery racer better tubes should be provided. I give the outer cover a 5 star rating and give the tire tubes a zero rating averaging 3 overall. Would love to give a 5 star overall but the inner tubes are not durable and cold hardy like they advertise.

The large tube is to small for the cover and it was missing the valve stem core (this meant it could not be inflated). The smaller tube for the seat cushion had a large leak around the valve stem and would deflate within minutes of inflating it. For the cost of the sled, to have to repair 2 brand new tubes is unacceptable. On the other hand, the cover is well made and can be use as a sled even without the tubes.
i can can say with full confidence that this is the fastest most comfortable sled I have ever used

After a few trips to the hill, i can can say with full confidence that this is the fastest most comfortable sled I have ever used. Pricey for sure, but fast and comfortable. It did arrive with no valve stems or caps. I would buy it again.

Ordered 2 of these in October of course did not get a chance to try and use until it snowed recently. One small tire was missing the valve stem insert and the other 2 large tubes would not hold air overnight after I inflated and was hoping to tube next day. Beware and check these items as soon as you get them. Now have expensive junk sitting in my basement never used.
