I finished up my video review of the tube. The more I mess around with it, the more I like it!


I can't wait to actually get out and fish with it...

Kinda looks like it leans forward a bit and is kinda small?

Is that normal for backpackable tubes?

That's a pretty cool item to have... if your are back packing, camping or hiking. Not too much weight to carry seems to work well. You sit up high. Not bad. What's the price??

Looks exactly like my Wood River stealthrider. Good to know if I ever need a replacement bladder.

Pretty sure I would be in about waist deep. I'll just put Helium in my Cumberland.  Cool

Does anyone know who makes the lightest, breathable stocking foot waders on Earth? Redington Cross water are listed at 1 pound 11 oz. Is there anything lighter available? Looking for the lightest on the market to go with the ultralight float tube for backpacking. Thanks

What about lightest fins?

I've used these for 10 years--work great, very light, although I don't know the exact weight.

The link to the lightweight fins is:

These fins are great for the price. They get the job done. You need to find some good shoes for them though.

I like the looks of this tube, has anyone else tried one?

It looks ideal, but I also hate to have the first model.

Can you use the Creek company fins with water shoes or just the wader booties?

Thanks,
Stan

What is the weight capacity? I looked at the website, but didn't see any specs other than total weight.

Wilderness Lite


FTFF Gathering Officer

In response to the question on the weight capacity of the Backpacker Pro ultralight float tube......

Based on volume of the main bladder in cubic feet, and resulting weight of water displaced by approximately 50% of this volume, the Backpacker Pro provides a calculated buoyancy capacity of approximately 300 pounds.

Capacity is somewhat variable and dependent on many factors from degree of bladder inflation to water temperature/density, etc. Ultimately, it is the comfort of the angler that is most critical and important, regardless of theoretical buoyancy calculation. So, Wilderness Lite will provide a full no questions asked refund on the Backpacker Pro. For anglers up to 300 pounds, try it out--if you don't find it suitable for you, return it for a refund of the purchase price.

Just some important reminders: safety comes first, so when evaluating float tube capacity or when using any float tube ALWAYS observe and practice ALL water safety precautions including: ALWAYS wearing a US Coast Guard approved personal flotation device, NEVER using when lightning is possible, using only in still water free of currents or winds, maintaining a safe distance close to shore in shallow water, properly inflating the float tube and keeping it properly inflated with changes in air and water temperature or air pressure or exposure to direct sun, never using a damaged, leaking, patched or repaired float tube, allowing only one person per float tube but using the buddy system to have others close to provide assistance if needed, staying squarely seated with bodyweight in the center of the seat of the float tube at all times, never attaching or tying yourself to the float tube, never allowing children to use the float tube, never consuming potentially intoxicating substances before or when using a float tube, practicing using the float tube in shallow, calm water to master skills in safely using it, and inspecting the float tube to confirm bladders are free of leaks and to assess suitability and safety for use each time it is inflated and at intervals during use and keep away from sharp objects that might pierce the float tube.

In case any one is still looking for lightweight waders, I just stumbled on a new opportunity==check out the Redington ultra packable waders.

I saw this back when SHig Speed (rest in peace) was working on the ultimate back packing tube. Very impressive!

I have seen this in person it is a quality and very light weight setup. Perfect for the backpacker that wants to take a tube with them on there hike.
