In all honesty, I have beaten the crap out of this raft. We've dragged it into the river on two different backpacking trips now. Rocked it down river and some small rapids (nothing crazy, but some 3-4 foot falls, lots of sliding over river rocks, both with 1 person or 2 people, etc), slept on it, dragged it back upriver over rough terrain etc and I am honestly shocked at how well it has held up. Put one small hole in the front on our first adventure, sealed it with gorilla glue and gorilla tape and it was great on its second outing last weekend. The next trip may be it's last, but for $30 it has been well worth it! Going for the 3 person next!!
