How to choose tubing

The list of the top 10 best tubings of 2022 is over. Further promised advice from sales assistant at a sporting goods store Artem Samsonovthat will come in handy when buying a tubing.

The first thing to consider when choosing a tubing is the dimensions. The convenience and functionality of using tubing depends on what size. No less important is the quality of the cheesecake itself, and the appearance plays an important role. The following criteria are decisive when choosing a tubing.

Reliability

Inflatable sleds are designed for high-speed driving on snow, mountain slopes, water surfaces. To begin with, you must know exactly for what purposes you will use tubing. Based on these goals, it is worth choosing a tubing. It is important to check the bottom: the material, how the seams are made, the handles and, of course, the camera.

The material for the sliding surface is usually reinforced polyvinyl chloride (similar to a glossy film) and plastic. Handles must be made of materials that are resistant to frost – plastic, rope, or a combination. The model with rope handles stitched with strong threads is highly reliable. But it is worth checking the quality of the seam. Glued handles are also quite suitable for tubing. The seams of the tubing must be even, preferably thick. An excellent solution that increases the strength of the seam is reinforcement with nylon. Structurally, the chamber is represented by a rubber annular tube with a large margin of elasticity. The most reliable version of the “donut”, made of durable multi-layer PVC material, which has excellent sliding qualities and a density of at least 630 g/m2. The bottom can be made of plastic or reinforced PVC with a strength of at least 900g/m2, 2 in 1 handles and a tow strap.

Quality

The quality of the material, perhaps, is the basis of excellent tubing. Visually, tubing should radiate reliability. As mentioned above, the best material is multilayer PVC with a high slip coefficient. Cheap sleds made of nylon or polyester impregnated with PVC. Such cheesecakes have a very low resistance index. Before buying, be sure to study the camera, the best material for which is butyl rubber. It is also worth considering the appearance, and how many people the tubing can accommodate.

Security

The tubes themselves are very safe. There are no hazardous elements in the design. It is optimal to use the sled on a slope covered with snow, with a slope of no more than 20 degrees. The best option is a prepared mountain descent, on which there are no trees, debris, etc. Remember that during the descent, the sled is poorly controlled. Therefore, before skiing, it is advisable to study this descent and make sure that it is relatively safe. The diameter of the cheesecake should be suitable for the height of the passenger, the legs should not touch the ground, and the body should not touch the bottom of the tubing. Although, some manufacturers make special inserts to increase the strength of the tubing bottom and increase passenger comfort.

Nuances

In addition to tubing, it will not be superfluous to have a ring for transportation on a lift, an additional chamber, glue for repairing a PVC cover, and a pump. These elements will be useful in operation. Before buying, be sure to find out what dimensions the cheesecake has – they must correspond to your height. The material must be even, smooth, durable, and there should not be an unpleasant odor. It is advisable to choose a tubing that has a rich package. It is worth studying quality certificates and giving preference to well-known brands. Not superfluous is to look at the reviews for a specific type of “cheesecake”.
