Packrafting is so much fun
We are so excited to announce that we have expanded our selection to the World's best packrafts:
MRS is committed to make top-grade products with extensive application expertise. Dedicated to design ultra-light products, they never stop the search for the most suitable and high-quality materials. MRS is a top brand for water sports!
Why choose a packraft?
Packrafting really opens limitless possibilities for planning hiking trips. Due to light weight (from 3 kg to more) It weighs just the amount of a standard tunnel tent. You'll have the options to go through lakes or drift with rivers as a part of your journey. Despite the unbeliavable lightness, these rafts are super durable. It is actually quite hard to break these, even when going through moderately rocky rapids.
Let's see what we have in stock now:
The Microraft series is a classic packraft type. After a long product testing period and regards to customer feedback, MRS improved the technology and redesigned the balance of the bow and stern in the Microraft series. The redesign resulted in a packraft with a sharper and more streamlined appearance and significantly reduced water resistance. Compared to previous models, this new redesign guarantees better buoyancy of the front hull, which means more luggage can be carried.
Even though this raft is light and nible, the raft can carry 150kg (paddler + baggage). Simplified this means one paddler, one weeks worth of kit, furry friend or even your fatbike.
The MRS Adventure X2 is the big brother of the Microraft.
A spacious two-person packraft equipped with two removable seats. Even though it is a two person raft it can also be used as a one-person packraft. The extra space enables the user to bring along more camping gear, fishing / hunting gear or even your best four pawed friend.
The MRS Nomad S1 D (spray cover included) is your best bet for long distance paddling. The slightly longer and sleeker hull gives this packraft the advantage over the Microraft. Even though this perticular packraft is a "distance machine", it fairs well in the rapids. The removable fin keeps your course set during your adventure.
With the launch of Rodrig rod holder alpackers rafts, it has finally been possible to secure the rods in a proper way. It is simply mounted using the four existing straps. Air pressure in the boat holds rod holder in place. You can mount it with one or two rod holders and there is plenty of room to attach the bag in between the pipes so you can use it both with and without loads.
Paddles
The Melomo Paddle is available in 210 cm and 220 cm lengths. These weigh about 900-950 g, which means that the paddles are quite suitable for camping with a packraft.
The lightweight but sturdy carbon fiber paddle, which unloads into four parts, travels with it, even in a car or when attached inside / outside the backpack.
We'll have these re-stocked in no time, so the wait shouldn't take that long!
All-in-one -Paddle!
The Melomo Multi Paddle gives you either one kayak paddle (220 cm / 950 g), one SUP paddle (195 cm / 700 g) or two canoe paddles (150 cm / 570 g / paddle).
As a whole, the entire paddle package with arms, shoulders and extensions weighs 1130 g. In addition to lightness, the paddle's strengths include a double blade and a sturdy carbon fiber arm, as well as a six-part folding structure.
We have a full repair kit especially designed for packrafters and it contains:
1 x 50 cm Stromsure Tuff Tape
1 x 5g tube Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive
2 x alcohol wipes
1 x protective gloves
1 x splash resistant box
You can also use stormsure for tents, waders and other things made of polyurethane and neoprene. This is not contact glue, so with this you can not glue for example grab loops – for that you need contact glue made for polyurethane. Package contain: 15 g tube clear or black Stormsure glue.
Note: The manufacturer recommends to store opened Stormsure glue in a fridge.
The flow rate of Max Pump Plus can reach 265L / min and the pressure can reach 1.8KPa. It is the perfect tool to bring along when going to the beach in summer; it can quickly inflate and deflate your swimming tube, air mattress, and any other inflatables. With Max Pump Plus you do not have to worry about blowing air with your mouth.
Weighing only 160g, Max Pump Plus is even smaller than a soda can. It's small size makes it super easy for storage and to carry around. With its powerful deflation, it helps to save up to 50% of spaces.
We have an excellent selection of dry- /rescue suits, but here is a couple of conciderable ones for various water- and ice sports.
The Ursuit® MPS suit is suitable for all kinds of boating, fishing, paddling and for example nordic skating and snow surfing on ice.
The suits double seams are made so that the seam will not open even when worn. Inside the seams are heat seal taped and reinforced to be 100 % watertight.
Half of the fun is to plan future adventures so why not start now for checking out routes for your next packraft trip!
