Your River Home ... The age-old question: which is more fun? Running your favorite river in a craft you've rigged and rowed yourself, or setting the perfect camp, nestled in a comfortable, beautiful setting with friends. We say, "Don't worry. Be Happy." The advantage of rafting is you don't have to choose. Go ahead. Take the perfect combination of gear that makes the weather just a sideshow, the uneven ground a plush bed, and the comfort of your river home a place you could never leave. So your old, thinner pad rolls up to 7" diameter and that new thicker one is 9". Go for the comfort. After a day of packing, rowing, unpacking - you deserve it!
