Not defective, it blew out of the back of the pick up and got road rash. Made me very sad I never got to use it. I love my other river run tubes!

I have had 3 of them so far, all three popped at the seams, one right out of the box on initial inflation. the other 2 failed at the seam within 2 weeks of normal use. amazon recalled them and issued a refund.

Split at the seam and along the side. Was not over inflated. Had no weight on it. Must be a poor quality or defective product

Let me help you decide if you should buy this or not........ Nope! About 2 weeks after writing my review it started acting up and it went out completely soon there after. It had to do with the fact that you unplug the speaker to plug the charger in and then have to plug the speaker back in of course, well that went bad fast and I was pretty bummed.As for the waterproof I would say lots of rain I bet would mess up the connection even faster :-( sorry brother.

I bought it and didn't get around to using it for about a month. First time I used it to wash my truck I thought it was great. A week later I was washing my truck and the damn thing exploded. The hose separated from the end and water went everywhere. I didn't even get to finish washing my truck with it. Far as I'm concerned....Piece of Crap. Amazon wouldn't take it back, I guess cause of the time lapse.

I've gone down the river several times with this tube and I have only had it get a small puncture once. We always bring duct tape for some emergency repairs just in case. I have a video of the double tube, river run ii, which is made by the same company. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz7m8T-I1wE&feature=youtube_gdata_player You can compare if you like.

I had one that did that. return it asap! It can't be fixed. I've had three. One failed the second time I used it, doing what yours is doing. The other sheared open along a 4 foot length of hose and the water poured out there. The only one I've had that has lasted is the one made by Rumford. The other two were useless!

It was not the connection that failed,mbut the hose itself actually exploded.....about a twelve inch hole and debris went flying everywhere and I was drenched!

I bought this one and then had to turn around and return it for a different one that was a bit more expensive but well worth it. This one came with the seams already torn! Sorry.

Yeah, I purchased one, mine was not water proof, I contacted and explained, but they never replied back.. Bought it in Sept. Didnt use it till Dec, laid it out on 2" of snow, climbed it the bags. With in 20-30 minutes it was seaping in moisture.. Would only suggest using a pad between it and the ground... I was very disappointed to say the least.. I had very high expectations for this product and was left very unsatistified. They never replied to my email...

Never mind the gutter. There is a design defect. The square design apparently cannot withstand the water pressure and hence cracks have developed. Don't buy this design. Look for a circular water barrel.

I wouldn't buy this product or maybe I used it incorrectly. I have a lake home and the water was seeping into my front yard so I ordered numerous of this product. Some of them inflated and some of them didn't. I called Quick Dam who I did not buy the product from and they were very kind to send me two boxes of new dams. Over the summer some of the dams deflated and zi found them at the bottom of the lake. I retrieved them and dried them and put them into storage. I still have one unused box my confidence level is low. The ones that stayed inflated well it's winter below freezing and the last time I checked they were still inflated. I guess some work and some don't

Well when we first put it on it worked great then not even two days later it was extremely windy and part of it actually ripped. I contacted customer service, sent them pictures and they shipped me a new one within a week. They said it must have been a fault. They stand behind their covers 100%. Although we haven't put the new one on yet ( we have been camping every other weekend ) I'm sure it will be fine. Sorry I wasn't that much help.

When I put on canoe with the zipper on top & closed it leaked when it rained.I suggest some time of flap over the zipper when closed.

Send entire craft back it's nothing but a huge huck of crap. Mine went back before it hit the water.

If you can return and can get your money back then do it, mine started after use of 10-12 times. I checked if I can return it but the time period to return the product was already passed. I found that the rubber seal inside the rod from where the steam passes it gets melted due to heat and start splattering hot water. I have no other choice but to through in garbage.

Don't buy this product. The plastic container has a manufacturing flaw. The seam splits causing the water to flow continuously until the container is empty.

I reviewed this product several months back and detailed a horrific kayaking experience I had back in 2011. To make a long story short, unbeknownst to me and my friends a then-recent tornado outbreak had left dozens of trees laying across the creek we were kayaking on. What was supposed to have been a 2-3 hour casual outing turned into 8 hours of dragging our kayaks across a shallow, rocky creek-bed and over dozens of fallen trees. All of that abuse did not lead to a single hole in the Challenger K1. Also, as I said in my previous review, I would strongly recommend buying a paddle better than the one that comes with it. The paddle is short and the cheap, plastic handle will easily crack. I reviewed this product several months back and detailed a horrific kayaking experience I had back in 2011.
