Thread: RED Rafts

"Designed and tested right here in NZ" means made in China.

"Commercial grade material and construction" means PVC (usually)

China made anything tend to use Chinese fabrics and glues. They are known to not be as durable as European/American and Japanese fabrics and glues.

Rafts made in NZ by some of the long time raft manufacturers have moved onto the latest generation of polyurethanes and high frequency welded seams. No glues to let go on a hot day.

15 year commercial use warranties on those NZ made rafts.

But for casual use and well looked after, those RED rafts may be quite OK
