Product Information
Full details

Its key benefit is the seamless transition from hiking to paddling, weighing only 2 kg and inflating quickly.

Troubleshooting
Packraft not inflating properly
Ensure the pump bag is securely attached to the valve. Check for any leaks at the valve or seams. Make sure you are using the included pump bag and not attempting to inflate with your mouth or a high-pressure pump, which can cause over-inflation.
Packraft deflates slowly during use
Inspect the inflation valve for any debris or damage that might prevent a proper seal. Ensure the valve cap is closed securely. Check the entire surface for small punctures and repair if necessary using appropriate patch kits.
Poor stability on the water
Ensure the packraft is inflated to the recommended pressure (firm but not overly rigid). Distribute weight evenly within the packraft. Check that the water conditions are within the recommended limits (calm waters).
Material feels sticky or tacky
This can occur with TPU materials if not properly dried or stored. Ensure the packraft is completely dry and stored in a well-ventilated area. A light wipe-down with a soft cloth may help.
