All about Hubster tubing
Each season has its own active games and entertainment. With the arrival of winter, the snowy slopes attract people of all ages. There are many accessories for descending on snow. Among this assortment, tubing from the Hubster company stands out.
Peculiarities
Hubster tubing is an excellent alternative to the usual and not very comfortable sleds. Such devices have a number of advantages and features:
neutralization of vibrations from unevennessthat are found on icy or snowy surfaces;
large selection of models in size and carrying capacity, it allows you to choose the right "cheesecake" for everyone, from a preschool child to adults weighing up to 150 kg;
light weight tubing makes it easy to cope with it not only for an adult, but also for a child;
each model has special handles for holding on the tubing, they are fixed in a special way, therefore they cannot come off during operation;
comfortable skiing from the slopes, different in length and steepness;
bright, attractive colors not only will appeal to even the most capricious children, but will also stand out on the slope among the large number of skiers;
simple use and tubing care;
convenient storage, in which the tubing does not take up much space and does not require special conditions.
We were able to identify several disadvantages typical of such devices for active winter recreation:
high probability of damage due to mechanical stress;
complex repairs that are not always possible to perform;
freezing of snakes when exposed to negative temperatures;
sensitivity to over-inflation of the camera.
These negative characteristics cannot spoil the overall positive impression.
Tubings are becoming more and more popular, and it's hard to argue with this fact.
Tubing lines
The company produces "cheesecakes" in several lines, each of which is special.
- Hubster Suite Pro made of a special material with water-repellent properties. This fabric is characterized by high density and excellent sliding characteristics. The lower part, which is in contact with the surface during sliding and is most subject to wear, has a higher density (900 g / m2) compared to the upper side. Also the bottom is additionally reinforced with PVC.
Such models are designed for long-term and intensive operation.
Hubster hype designed for long, gentle descents. The models are presented in one-color and two-color colors, all models are colorful and expressive, which allows a person to stand out from the general mass of skiers.
Hubster Sport Pro designed for downhill slopes on long but not particularly steep hills. The line includes models for different ages. The weight of the upper part is 600 g / m2, and the lower part is made of PVC material with a density of 650 g / m2.
The handles have plastic pads.
Hubster Ring Pro - these are 13 two-color models. They are equipped with not two, but three handles, which allows two people to ride on one "cheesecake" at once.
The main condition concerns their total weight - it should not exceed the maximum allowable value.
Hubster Flash Is a series of "cheesecakes" with reflective tapes, which makes night skiing safe. Laconic design, increased strength of every detail and high density make these models the best among many.
Hubster Lux Plus embodied all the best that the company has developed over the years of its existence. This is one of the largest categories, and contains bright and original high performance models.
Popular models
It is not easy to choose the best from the large number of good models. Perhaps not everyone will agree with our choice. We focused on the opinions of users and the popularity of models.
Hubster "Lux Perchik" has a diameter of 105 cm, which corresponds to a maximum load of 120 kg. Four handles allow two users to ride comfortably, the total weight of which does not exceed the allowable possible. Long towing rope, deep and comfortable seat, original but calm coloring are just a few of the features that attract users.
No less interesting is the "cheesecake" "Lux Plus Black Butterflies", the diameter of which is 90 cm. The small diameter is designed for use by children. Reinforced 600D oxford fabric with impregnation is used to create the upper part. The bottom is made of PVC with a density of 650 g / m2.
Hubster Flash Model with a diameter of 120 cm, it is great for adults as it can carry 150 kg. You can ride it together. The material can withstand up to -30 degrees. Triple seams, high fabric strength, reinforced with nylon threads, silicone braided handles and robust car inner tubes are the main advantages of this model.
Criterias of choice
The choice of tubing must be approached seriously and responsibly. To make the right choice, you need to adhere to a number of tips from experts.
Initially, tubing is selected according to the size and weight for which they are designed. For children, models with a length of no more than 70 cm will be comfortable. For adult users, models of at least 100 cm are suitable. If the size is chosen incorrectly, then a child in a large "cheesecake" will dangle and will not be able to hold on normally, and an adult in a small tubing will not be able to comfortably accommodate.
Transportation must be carried out in a case or bag. It is not only convenient, but also practical and safe.
The camera access slot should be closed with a zipper and lacing. In order for the lightning to serve for a long time and be able to withstand heavy use, it must be of high quality, durable and reliable.
The best tubing is made from reinforced PVC... The weight of the material used for the bottom of the tubing must exceed the 630 g / m mark. You should not choose too dense material, since it will make the bottom very hard.
The cable for lifting the tubing is a must. In most models, it is removable.
The handles undergo a high load during operation, therefore they must have increased strength. Attention should be paid not only to the material of their manufacture, but also to the method of attachment to the tubing. The best option is cross stitches with nylon threads, which can withstand a lot of tension.
