I don't own a bathroom scale and I think I'd get some funny looks walking into the gym locker room with the float tube!

I'll just try to use my fish scale.

I picked up this float tube on CL and love it. I'm curious how much it weighs... Classic Accessories doesn't list the weight on their site.

Looks impressive on weight. Thanks. A regular old style tube doesn't weigh much more, maybe a pound or two for less than $100. This one appears to have more lift, and better valve design.

I picked up an Outcast Trinity when a sporting goods store closed down about 5 years ago. Pricey at full price though:

It packs down about the same. The big advantage is you only really are down in the water below your knees. It weights about 6 lbs (says 7 lbs on the website now).

If price is no object, this one looks is light and like the Trinity, gets you out of the water, too:

I would like to try one, if Dave Scadden is reading this.

Check Ebay!

They do offer a $50 discount if you buy two.

3.8 lb float tube

Came across this and thought of Slayer's post a little while back talking about hiking with a float tube and how heavy it was.

This float tube weighs in at only 3.8 lbs and is $350... $92.10 a pound

Thought this may interest some of you high mountain anglers so check it out.
