  • Awesome little boat
Color: ORANGE-2020 Style: Kayak
Cons: it does not track at all. It takes a lot of effort in paddling each side to go any appreciable distance. Given the drag, I would not take this on a body of water where i have to fight against the current as you will lose. However, for a calm alpine lake, it is awesome. People were jealous. You get a little wet with paddling and entry, but if you're careful, you can stay largely very dry. It's super light and packable. Fairly sturdy. Takes about 5-10min to inflate and not that challenging. Inflating the last part is tough b/c boat kinks so you or some kind stranger has to lay on it while inflating to fully inflate boat ... show more

  • Great for lake floating!
Color: ORANGE-2020 Style: Kayak
These are great if you have the right expectations! I wanted to be able to go out to alpine or backcountry lakes and float around without the price of a packraft, and these are perfect for that. They pack easily and as small as advertised, they’re light, and inflating is easy though can take some time depending on wind - maybe up to 10-15 mins if it’s really not windy at all. They’re not super supportive to sit upright in, the fabric is light, and they don’t steer very well, so I definitely wouldn’t feel secure for any real river rafting, but I did take them on a larger lake with wind and waves once and the raft did hold, did get across, and I never felt like I would capsize, so there is that. Overall, if you’re looking for something compact to just easily get out onto water these are great, but if you need something to really be safe and secure to float rivers in I would up your price and get something thicker. ... show more

  • At first... ehhh... then later... this thing's pretty darn good
UPDATE: For the reviewers complaining about the "kink" ... its really a non-issue. I've had two of these and both have a kink sometimes depending on how the raft blows up. It does not affect the performance of the raft in anyway once you sit in it. Also, a kink can be eliminated for the most part if you use your lungs for the final "top off" pressurization. You basically hold the bag close by the fitting and then blow into that as hard as you can (you'd be surprised at how taught the raft can become). Even if you don't do that a kink literally goes to normal once you are out on the water (unless the raft is severely under inflated). When I bought this the raft was about 120 bucks. I feel at its current price its pushing the envelope on price. I can say I had a few years on the first raft going down some rougher stuff and fishing. The second raft was a replacement sent to me free by Kylmit (1st raft had the spot welds of the seat fail). The 1st raft was fixed with using inflatable boat sealant and given to my brother. Its very beat up but useable. Now I bought a more durable russian made packraft for about 2x the price of this one. I still use the kylmit on nice days but the larger raft is preferable if you want to stay dry or its cold. original: Ok... for a long time i wanted to try out packrafting, but no way could I stomach the price for something like an alpacka. Saw this thing online and tried to research it a bunch but there was literally no reviews or much youtube footage. I heasitated for a while then saw a review by PATMAN on youtube that finally sold me on it. Glad I bought it. First let me say this is no way an alpacka raft but that being said its no way near as heavy and for the price its great. Secondly you will get wet. Don't expect this to be as dry as a kayak... its not that. packrafting is not a dry sport anyhow. However, This thing is extremely packable (loaf of bread size), and can be blown up and taken down in mins. I've had this thing out on ponds and some rivers. It actually can be paddled. Again, not a kayak but way better than swimming. The material seems fairly solid... its not a pool toy but not as tough as my zodiac boat either. Also its not that pool material madeout of PVC, its feels more cloth like. Definately durable and light (did I say VERY Light... cuz it is). The shape is just plain odd, but it works. You look like a dork in the thing, but i gotta say i was grinning ear to ear. Its definately a niche product, but a blast for when you want something to float around on, fish from, camping / hiking and need to cross pond, river, or lake. I weigh 200 lbs and floats me more than fine. Its a really well thought out package w/ its bag that doubles as an inflator. I'm sure this thing will be fun for quite some time. Being out 5-6 times I already feel like i have gotten my moneys worth. Also, it adds to the variety of hiking / camping you can do drastically. hike up river, float back down... camp on islands, cross rivers ect. ... show more

  • Product was defective
Color: ORANGE-2020 Style: Kayak
Received a defective product: could not rid raft of dog-leg on side at any inflation level. Tried it anyway. An uncomfortable compromise between a trail raft and a pool toy. Tough enough for trail but canvas skin too inflexible - it needs more play to maintain sufficient inflation in the water. Bottom of raft is shallow - a 200 lb man will absolutely get wet. That would be fine for the pool but not the trail. Have been searching for years for a replacement for the great but discontinued Sevylor trail boat, so far with no success. ... show more

  • Great fun !
I bought this to fly fish hike-in lakes where brush, trees and reeds around the lake make fly fishing from shore next to impossible. It is light, inflates relatively quickly with the supplied inflator bag, packs down small and seems reasonably durable. I am really liking it so far and have been out about five times with it. It comes with a patch kit (haven't used), but I don't expect it to last forever. It is not as durable as an NRS or Alpacka, but it isn't as heavy or expensive either. I use a kayak-style paddle with it: the Advanced Elements Ultralight (230cm) and Supai Olo (~196cm). As for most inflatables, wind is not your friend but you can certainly compensate with paddle strokes. Yes, you will get wet, either from entry/exit or from paddling, but that should come as no surprise. I just wear rain pants (which I normally bring on backpack trips anyway), neoprene socks (NRS carries all kinds), and roll up my hiking pants (you do know not to wear jeans or cotton on hiking trips, don't you ?) I am fairly light (135#) with a short inseam (30") so the raft works well for me for the kind of stuff I do with it. I prefer the light to ultralight backpacking style, so the idea of making certain tradeoffs is just fine by me. "Your mileage may vary" :) ... show more
