Intex King Kool Inflatable Lounge, 63" X 33.5", 1 Pack (Colors May Vary)

THE STANDARD for comfortable utilitarian float tripping. Unmatched in comfort, portability, value, and on-the-water mobility, the King Kool has cult status among my circle of friends. It is surprisingly durable, able to survive trips in whitewater rivers (Class I-II, after that all bets are off). This baby will bump or even ride over rocks with gusto as long as you don't overinflate it. I have tried many types of tubes, the most popular type being the standard circular tube. The King Kool rises above as you have full control very low in the water, being able to use both hands for propulsion along the sides with full range of motion. You can really move in this thing and navigate rapids with ease once you get the hang of it. The "hole" in the front can snugly fit a small cooler or drybag. As long as you don't pop it on a difficult seam tear, you can repair it pretty easily with Gorilla Tape mid-trip. I have a friend who used the same King Kool for 3 years of river float trips before it gave out.***INTEX, IF YOU ARE LISTENING!!!!*** The King Kool is great and a great value, but if you make a more durable premium version with thicker more resilient material (especially the bottom), YOU WILL HAVE MANY BUYERS. It would be far better for the environment as well as my group of friends has had to "retire" (throw away) an unfortunate number of King Kools in our travels. That said, they really are durable and should hold up for many trips. I have grinded mine over plenty of shallow river rocks with no issue and repaired it with Gorilla Tape.

I love this float ~ it's my go to every summer!

First, this isn't a toy, it's a float to float around the pool in. So don't let them tell you it's a toy. I absolutely love this float. I have two and although I didn't get to pick the color, I was shipped one of each. The best thing about this device is that you don't have to be a gymnast to get on or off of it. I have an in-ground pool, so I simply stand on the steps, step into the "hole" and sit. The same to get off, I go to the steps, put my feet through the hole, and stand. AND it's comfortable. Enough that I have been known to nap while floating in the pool. These floats are durable and have lasted 3 years. This year, however, they both got small holes which I could not repair with the repair kits. The adhesive did not work. BUT I am ordering 4 more so that next summer, I will be ready to float again along with my friends. Inexpensive, comfortable, lasts for at least 3 years and inflates very easily in two sections (pillow and body are blown up separately). Love it and recommend it. (I can only vouch for floating in a pool and not for lakes, streams or the ocean).

I've ordered this twice. I loved my first one, but it burst after about 4 summers. I was okay with that! It got a fair amount of use in pools, ponds and lakes, and lasted longer than I expected it too! When I needed a new one, I opted to get the same one again because it served me well. I'm short and thick, and this is the right size for me to hook my feet into the hole on the bottom to stop myself from sliding down all the time.

Love the floaties! Good quality.

I buy a new one of these every year to float around on my pool and get a suntan. It is the best value raft I have come across and I have been buying them for years. It's very comfortable to lay on I actually fall asleep sometimes.

These floaties are our go to inflatable lounge for several years running. They are sturdy, I am a big & tall man and these keep me afloat for hours. Because the price is reasonable I buy 2 or 3 every year. Some for people in the pool and one for our Golden Retriever who likes to float on these also [see photo] I've tried more expensive inflatables for the pool but these are the best I have found for my needs. Th dog has nails that can pierce thinner plastic but these hold up and other brands/styles do not have the buoyancy that these King Kool do, I end up sinking in other brands because they are cheap, I leave them inflated all pool season, after the following winter they get discolored and I eventually toss them in the garbage knowing I will replace in the warm months. I usually buy them at Target in the summer for similar price as Amazon but at retail stores they are only available certain months of the year and they go fast. This year I decided to buy here on Amazon early since its already pool season here in Southern CA and luckily I got different colors which is what I wanted. I like that at the end you can put your legs through the large opening on the end and dangle your feet in the water or prop them up. Our dog likes the opening also, he puts his front paws in the water and periodically he dunks his snout and head in the water, its also a place to keep his tennis ball when I am not through it . for him to swim and fetch... see photo
