RTR-44 Regular River Tube 44"
A real river tube built more like river gear than a pool toy. The RMR RTR-44 is a 44-inch symmetrical river tube made from heavy-duty PVC with welded seams for floating, moving water, and long summer days when durability matters just as much as comfort.
The Classic RMR River Tube
The RTR is RMR's traditional round river-tube design. Unlike the RTD River Recliner models, the RTR has symmetrical sides with no front-to-back taper.
That simple shape makes it the most versatile style in the RMR tube lineup: sit in it for a river float, use it in moving water, or flip it over and RMR says it can even serve as a flat camping table when the day's floating is done.
Why Choose the 44"?
RMR recommends the RTR-44 for youth floating solo and for smaller-to-medium adults.
Its smaller diameter also keeps the water easier to reach with your hands, which can matter if you like steering, pushing off, or simply staying more connected to the river while you float.
If you want more room around you or have longer arms, the 48-inch model may be the better fit.
Built with Raft-Style Materials
RMR took the construction approach used in its larger inflatables and scaled it down for the river-tube lineup.
The RTR-44 uses 33 oz / 1100-denier PVC with welded seams instead of the thin vinyl construction commonly found on basic recreational tubes.
The result is a tube intended for repeated river use rather than something designed around a few trips to the pool.
RTR-44 vs. RTR-48
Both tubes use the same symmetrical design and construction. The real difference is fit.
Choose the RTR-44 if you're a smaller-to-medium adult, buying for a youth paddler, or want a shorter reach from the center of the tube to the water.
Choose the RTR-48 if you're a larger adult, want more room, or need enough space for an adult and a small child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the RTR-44 best for?
RMR recommends the 44-inch regular tube for youth floating solo and smaller-to-medium adults.
What is the difference between the RTR-44 and RTR-48?
The design and construction are the same. The RTR-48 simply provides four additional inches of overall diameter and more room for larger users. The RTR-44 keeps the water easier to reach for smaller users and people with shorter arms.
What does "symmetrical" river tube mean?
The tube is the same basic height around its circumference rather than tapering lower in the front and higher in the back. RMR's RTD River Recliner models use that tapered lounging shape instead.
Is the RTR-44 designed for moving water?
Yes. RMR developed its river tubes for river use, including moving water, while also making them comfortable for relaxed floating. River conditions and user ability should always determine where a tube is appropriate to use.
How is this different from a typical vinyl river tube?
RMR uses 33 oz / 1100-denier PVC and welded seams instead of the lightweight vinyl construction commonly used in inexpensive recreational tubes.
Can I use the RTR-44 as a camping table?
RMR specifically notes that the symmetrical RTR tubes can be flipped over and used as flat camping tables.
Is this tube sold as a pair?
No. Pricing is for one RTR-44 river tube.
Does the RTR-44 include a pump?
No. A pump is not included.
What warranty does the RTR-44 have?
