Majja got it backwards. Outcast now have PVC bladders (meaning made over seas)
Urethane is the thing you WANT and is all of the NFO boats and older outcast.
Think of it this way...PVC is those cheap sandwich bags you buy. It stretches and thin which means it will spring a leak at some time.
Urethane is those FREEZER bags. Seams welded, doesn't stretch (or shrink as much) and Urethane is LIGHTER, and can hold more air which means to you a better payload. That is why you see NFO boats with such a high weight capacity.
To recap: Urethane bladder GOOD, PVC bladder not so good[

BUT, if it says outer cover is PVC, that is GOOD!
