OK. So my 15 year old caddis tube finally died last week. I got the go ahead to get a new tube for my birthday that is coming up. Any recommendations? I need the following:
* must float a big guy! I'm 240# on a good day
* light weight! packable for the backcountry
* durable - I have kids who will use it sometimes
* above water seat would be best

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Creek company 420 Ultralight. I've been eyeying one for some time, they look pretty sweet. Appear to be a Fish Cat, without the heavier bottom material. Anyone have one who can comment on them?
