Hello there and welcome to the site! If you're looking for a smaller tube, I really like the Creek Company Uboat 2000. It's very comfortable, has enough pocket space to get by, and it's not very pricey. Cabelas has them up for sale in a $90 combo [url "http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0011364315877a&type=product&cmCat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=uboat+2000&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=uboat+2000&noImage=0"]here[/url].
I'm pretty sure you can find them for less, but I like having the customer service available in case anything goes wrong with it. The pump that comes with it is pretty good, but the fins aren't. However, they are very small and would fit well in a backpack, and I'm sure they'd suffice if ya wanted, but I'd suggest paying a bit more for better ones.
My wife uses the UB2 now, and I used to have one but just upgraded to a V-tube (not very backpackable) and sold mine to help pay for the new one. It folds up really small and could probably fit in any decent size backpack without too much effort.
There's a lot of other good tubes out there too. Just stay away from doughnuts!
Glad to have ya aboard! [cool]
