My Rock still going strong since April 2010. Any durability comparisons between Rock and Ravine 2?

Ravine 1 was my phone and it lasted 5 years and then the only thing wrong was the speaker for the phone. It still worked if you put it on speaker phone. I am thinking of having it repaired. The Ravine 2 that I purchased is really sturdy and feels as good as my old phone. Good luck.

Marble works seems sturdier, but I haven't seen recent Marble Works sets to accurately compare. The set we had growing up is still in amazing condition and it got/gets tons of use!

I am not sure, but I think mkw is correct. I believe the natural rubber eventually breaks down. The Prolite has a lifetime guarantee.

We have used ours on the Saco River in NH. The rocks there are worn smooth from the current. We are more likely to bump into fallen logs and branches. We have never had any issues with tearing. You will not be sorry if you decide to purchase them. We own 2 with mesh bottoms, 2 solid bottom tubes, and 1 double tube. Enjoy your summer.

Yes. I have not had it more than a few months. But I am still just as pleased with it. What I cannot report on is durability.

I've owned one for 6 months and it seems to hold up very well. My grandson has dropped it on a tile floor a couple of times and aside from a few minor dents, it still works fine.

It won't rip. I've had mine for about 5 years and use it once a week or so. I've used it rappelling, climbing, hiking, camping and biking. Mine has been used very hard and has only had minor damage. The ripstop material is smooth and semi glossy, so it slides off rocks quite well. After 5 years of abuse, mine only has pinholes that reduce it from water*proof* to water*resistant*. The drink pockets are made of a whimpy mesh that gets caught on tree branches, but they're reinforced by the same ripstop as the body, so they're still functional. I've carried upwards of 60 lbs on many many occasions and the straps have only needed minor sewing to keep them at 100%. If you like, I can send you photos of my bag showing you the wear.

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

I bought this for the same reason. I don't know what kind of rock you are dealing with, but it worked quite well for me.

I haven't had any wobbling issues thus far. And I've taken mine rock crawling quite a few times. :-)

I've had several map edition products and this has never once been an issue. The Kodiak is tank tough and to hell and back durable.

I haven't had to teeter on rocks just yet but I did run into a big yellow concrete post, the ones that are put in front of buildings so you don't hit the building. They held up really well, no dents or anything just a nice long yellow stripe. I'd assume they'd do really well though on the rocks, not just for mall-crawling, the things are gnarly.

I've had it for almost 2 years and it's still in great shape. It doesn't seem to have degraded at all. :-)

It is an inflatable, so your not going to be able to ram a jagged rock at high speed and expect not to have a problem. Having said that, I have taken mine down a shallow river in E. Tennessee where I was rubbing smooth rocks virtually the entire 2 hour trip. At some points I even got high centered (due to the shallows) on top of a rock and had to sort of scoot off of it. This caused me no problem, as the rocks were smooth. I have also had a tree limb jab the top portion and managed not to puncture it. Generally, I would say that it is as good as you could reasonable expect from an inflatable.

I have no durability complaints after minimal use. I have older Stanley screw drivers in my toolbox and they are holding up well too.

Easy, it's a super durable tire. I've taken them on mild downhill trails, though gravel trails, off rocks etc no problems. Also put nearly 400KM on them around the city this year.
