How it compares in Water Sports
Across the 17 rated water sports products we track, the typical score is 4.5 out of 5. This one sits at 4.4, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count.
It carries 5,998 ratings against a category median of 2,283. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the lower third of a category running from £8.49 to £25.99, where the midpoint is about £12.74. Buying at the cheap end is fine when the rating holds up; check the specifics below rather than assuming the saving is free.
