Overview
Shallow streams and quiet finger lakes are the water this compact packraft is made for. The craft inflates and deflates quickly, and its open design plus nylon D-rings make gear easy to reach.
The full-length inflatable floor adds buoyancy and stability, and an inflatable seat with a backrest supports the paddler. Reinforcement inside the bow protects against wear from wading boots. The color is not specified.
Who it's for
Backcountry paddlers and anglers carrying their boat to remote water are the target. Groups and families should look at a larger raft.
Pros and cons
- Ultralight for carrying
- Inflatable floor adds stability
- Inflatable seat and backrest
- Bow reinforcement for wading boots
- Limited weight capacity
- Color not specified
Performance notes
Inflating the floor adds both buoyancy and stability, so the boat tracks calmly on flat water. Reinforced bow fabric resists abrasion from boots, and the seat and backrest keep the paddler stable through riffles.
