Overview
This 36 inch medium tube from American Rubber is made from latex-free commercial grade rubber for swimming pools, lakes, rivers and snow sledding. Fully inflated it measures 36 inches across the outside with a 16.5 inch inner opening.
American Rubber sizes this line by rider weight rather than age alone: the medium tube is rated for up to 120 pounds when inflated to its full 36 inch diameter, while a separate small size handles 50 to 90 pounds. The valve stem sits recessed in the rubber rather than as a protruding metal stem, and the rubber is UV treated to resist the slow deflation sunlight can cause in vinyl tubes.
- 36 inch outside diameter when fully inflated
- 16.5 inch interior diameter
- Latex-free, tear-resistant rubber
- Rated for riders up to 120 lbs
Who it's for
Riders around 120 pounds or under who want one tube for both pool floating and snow sledding, in a mid-size option between the brand's small and X-large tubes.
Pros and cons
- Latex-free commercial grade rubber build
- UV protected against sun-related deflation
- Recessed valve stem avoids scrapes
- Works for both pool and snow use
- Weight rated to 120 lbs, not suited to heavier riders
- Requires careful full inflation to reach its stated size
Performance notes
Full inflation matters here: the brand instructs starting and stopping the air flow to reach the full 36 inch outside diameter without bulging, since underinflating undercuts both comfort and the stated weight rating. The rubber build is described as UV protected and tear resistant, aimed at avoiding the slow leaks and splits that vinyl tubes are prone to in sun. The recessed rubber valve stem is a safety detail, sitting flush enough to avoid scrapes.
