Overview
Built for hunters and other backcountry travelers who need a packraft that stays manageable on the approach, this model is aimed at flatwater and lightwater trips in remote country. Its lightweight design makes it easier to carry into sidecountry and backcountry terrain, while the stable, comfortable platform is suited to hauling awkward loads such as bikes and packs. It is a practical choice when the priority is simple transport and versatile use rather than a specialized watercraft.
