Best phone harness for tubing Keep your phone on you — not at the bottom of the lake.
Tubing is all about the moment — the wipeouts, the laughs, the shots you want to share. Keep your phone on your body so you don't miss any of it.

What tubers actually need from a phone solution
The Honest Comparison
KOALA 2.0 vs. every other option tubers use
| Option | Security | Accessibility | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOALA 2.0 Harness | Bungee tether keeps phone locked to your chest — secure on the tube and accessible on the boat between runs | Chest-mounted, one-handed access without digging through a bag or leaving it on the boat | Best overall for tubers |
| Shorts pocket | Phone falls out on a wipeout — guaranteed at tubing speeds | Accessible on the boat, completely inaccessible on the tube | High loss risk on the water |
| Boat storage | Phone stays dry but completely inaccessible while tubing | Requires stopping and returning to the boat | Safe storage, zero usability on the water |
| Waterproof pouch | Stays attached but bounces around and can interfere with holding on | Hard to operate one-handed while gripping the tube handles | Clunky and distracting |
| Leave it on the beach | Safe from water, useless on the lake | No photos, no video, no sharing the session | Miss the whole experience |
How It Works
Built for the lake. Not the boat compartment.
The KOALA 2.0 uses a Super-Grip silicone pad and bungee tether system to keep your phone locked against your chest. It works with virtually any smartphone — no case required — and fits over a swimsuit, a rash guard, or a life jacket.
One-handed access means you can snap a photo, share a clip, or change the music between runs without digging through a boat compartment. The bungee tether keeps your phone tethered to your body — because losing your phone in the lake isn't a recoverable situation.
Where It Works
Lake days. River floats. Snow tubing. All of it.
Tubers use it to document the session, share wipeout clips, and stay connected between runs. When you're on the boat and your phone is in a compartment, you miss the shot. The KOALA keeps your phone on your body — accessible the moment you need it.
It also works for snow tubing, river floats, and any water activity where your phone needs to be on your body — not in a bag. 2,040+ reviews from paddlers, surfers, and adventurers who've put it through real conditions.
