Wow, Joco,
It's less expensive here than in the States. That's different. It seems to be a Classic Accessories product with some of the features of the Outcast (Fish Cat and Fat Cat) and Creek Company ODC tubes.
God Bless,
Don

That seems like a good starter tube for the bigger angler and for the price. Although it has a similar weight rating to the Fat Cat and the SFC, it appears that the pockets are just a bit smaller and of course the lower price does reflect the absence of the Urethane bladders.
With PVC bladders, it will be lighter in weight and probably ideal for someone to backpack into a remote location with minimal weight impedances.[cool]

Actually, Urethane is lighter, that is one of the selling features!

Vinyl is less expensive, heavier, and not as durable......NOW that is why Urethane is more expensive.

OH, the Echo!!!! I am not sure it is lighter. It is a small boat, but the frame is steel and the molded plastic seat, plus the toons are basically a rubbermaid material.

:-).. I forgot about your echo.. Id want something along the size of the fisher but mainly because I dont have to pump up the tubes... but with that you get more weight.. and the fisher is cheaper that the hobie models..

Joco,
I still think you should get a Fat Cat. Classic Accessories does not exactly inspire me with confidence. If you can wait until I make it up your way we can have a yak tube outing. I've got the two Fat Cats so you could get a first hand experience with Fat Cat tubing.
God Bless,
Don
