Answer 1

Try going to Northwest River Supply at nrsweb.com.  They have a pretty good lineup of a couple different brands.  The Aire is one of the best on the market and cost quite a bit more that some of the Tributarys and the Tomcats, but all of them are high in quality.  Good luck and paddle safe!!
