Which packraft to choose?
To choose between the PR500 and the PR100, you need to answer the following questions:
- Do you need a watertight compartment?
If so, go for the PR500
- Will you be sailing on flat water (lakes, calm rivers) or whitewater?
=> flat water: the PR100 is sufficient
=> whitewater (class II max recommended): PR500
=> both: PR500 more suitable
- What weight will you be taking on board?
> up to 110kg: PR100
> up to 125kg: PR500
Why make a Packraft?
The Packraft is an adventure for outdoor sports enthusiasts. This experience combines at least two sports and allows you to vary the pleasures and enjoy the landscapes differently between the ascent and the descent.
Hiking or biking, for one or more days, you'll reconnect with nature and get the most out of it!
What's the difference between Rafting and Packrafting?
Rafting and packrafting are navigated on rivers with varying degrees of rapids. In rafting, you are in a crew, in the same boat, and you steer your raft with a single paddle (canoe type) and descend. In packrafting, you go up then down in your packraft - we advise you to stay in a group - and your paddle is a double paddle (kayak type).
The packraft is carried alone, weighing just 2kg, whereas the raft is carried in a group and weighs around 80kg.
How is the design worked?
A packraft, with colors that blend into the river scenery, to give you an immersive experience. For the sake of safety, the orange color means you can always be seen and followed on the water. The Itiwit teams have developed a number of prototypes to test different shapes for maximum manoeuvrability and stability. With compactness in mind, this packraft is frugal and essential, so it can follow you on all your adventures.
How to inflate the packraft?
Connect the hose to the valve on the packraft and to the valve on the inflation bag. Open the bag wide to trap as much air as possible. Close the top of the bag and roll to transfer air from the bag to the boat. You can press down with your knee to help.
The packraft is sufficiently inflated when you can no longer inflate with the bag. Use the same procedure to inflate your seat.
What's in the Kayak bag?
The pack includes:
- The "pump bag": storage bag which is also the bag that will help you inflate the packraft
- The hose
- The packraft
- The seat
- A repair kit
