Tubing is becoming an increasingly popular form of winter recreation.
This is not surprising: the “cheesecakes” are easy to use and provide an opportunity to get a dose of adrenaline.
To make skiing comfortable and convenient, it is worth visiting specially equipped trails at resorts and parks.
And, of course, you need to choose the right tubing. How to do this – read below.
The main thing to pay attention to when buying is the age and height of the “user”.
So, if we are talking about a child who is not yet 5 years old, then you need to choose from models with a diameter of 65-80 cm. Such tubing can withstand a weight of up to 60 kg.
For children aged 7 to 14 years, whose height does not exceed 140 cm and whose weight does not exceed 80 kg, a tubing with a diameter of 80-100 cm is suitable.
Teenagers up to 160 cm tall should ride on “tubes” with a diameter of 95-100 cm. The maximum user weight is 85 kg.
If we are talking about adults up to 175 cm tall, the diameter of the tubing should be 110-115 cm. Such models can support a rider weighing up to 120 kg.
Finally, for adults from 175 to 200 cm tall, it is worth looking for 120-150-centimeter tubes. As manufacturers indicate, they are also suitable for riding together with a child.
As for the price, if you consider yourself a beginner and do not plan to use tubing too often, a budget model will be enough.
The same tubes that belong to the middle and high price segments are needed for frequent use: they have a more durable bottom, reinforced seams and soft handles.
