Latex vs. Latex Free?

We have been using latex tubing since 2000.  In 2012, at the request of a customer we began offering latex free as well.  We always recommend the latex version if latex free is not a concern.  The latex has more of a bounce feeling and give than the latex free.  Since latex is a main component of rubber, that makes sense.  Manufacturer recommends latex over latex free for durability and experience.

Small is 6 feet in circumference ~ 2-5 people or 6 children.    Latex – $41      Latex Free – $49

Medium is 12 feet in circumference ~ 5-8 people or 10 children.  Latex – $59      Latex Free – $69
