Wilderness Lite LLC...the ultralight float tubes

About us

We are Wilderness Lite LLC...the ultralight float tubes Love the Wilderness, Backpacking, and Float Tube Fishing & Fly Fishing? WE DO TOO, it's our passion! For over a decade we've enjoyed backpacking expeditions with family and friends for a long weekend to a week or more duration carrying all food, clothing, shelter, and fishing gear on foot to wilderness lakes. We originally float tubed using the legendary Wood River Summer Breeze and Swiftrider V boats and since 2014 have packed the Wilderness Lite ultralight Backpacker Pro float tubes. We're eager to equip others to enjoy the same wilderness float tubing and fishing experience. Wood River unfortunately went out of business long ago. So, we've developed an improved ultralight float tube for fishing and high mountain lake recreation, the Wilderness Lite Backpacker Pro. Several years of design optimization and testing have resulted in the ultimate in light weight float tube performance. You'll find the 10 or even 20 or more miles of backpacking to the lakes of your choice are now in reach because of the ultralight weight and packing ease of a patent pending Wilderness Lite Backpac ker Pro float tube, and you'll likely have the water to yourself to enjoy float tube fishing on pristine waters with friends, family, and the next generation of wilderness float tubing enthusiasts.

Nicely made and well appointed (inflatable backrest, large side pockets, large back pocket, stripping apron, D-rings) for a ridiculously low weight....So far I am very happy with the tube, most impressive is that it's weight has not been understated by the manufacturer. Construction seems to be durable & well thought out. Not affiliated with Wilderness Lite, but I do think this is a great product."Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2XDw17GTGQ&feature=youtu.be
