Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It takes about 2. It easily deflates on its own, if left be. It inflates much more easily than expected.

I can't believe how small & lightweight this is, but also really durable. It is not as durable as an nrs or alpacka, but it isn't as heavy or expensive either.

Small enough to pack and fly with! Small and light exactly as described. Perfect to taking with you in your backpack. I just wear rain pants (which i normally bring on backpack trips anyway), neoprene socks, and roll up my hiking pants (you do know no...  Read More

It actually can be paddled. There is some side-to-side as you paddle but it goes as a decent pace.

Just being out there is amazing to me. This thing is incredible. You won't be disappointed. Absolutely awesome. These are great if you have the right expectations!



Cons

The main functional drawback is that it has oar yokes on it - which shred your arms if you using a kayak paddle and the heavy vinyl construction makes it very heavy and bulky to carry in a canyoneering backpack. This thing * for anything other than st...  Read More

Quality


2020 best innovative product i ever puchased!


There are lighter rafts, but this one has sturdy fabric, seams, and valves i can trust with my 100k body!


After about an hour one night i deflated it--smelled like fish and glory!


The side to side movement (yaw) with each stroke makes tracking quiet inefficient (using advance elements orbit paddle) so i am...  Read More

Price


I have noted the price varies from $82 in the winter to $130 in spring and summer!


I got this on sale for $79 and was super happy.


I was lucky to buy this for $100/ea.


I bought it as an emergency raft of sorts for my small offshore fishing boat, not wanting to spend up to several thousand for a...  Read More

Shipping


So when it arrived before noon on my day off on a sunny day of course i had to take it out right away.


Very fast delivery to russia (one week).


I took it to chattahoochee river for its maiden voyage and purposely went to a spot with slow moving water to test how it tracked.

Packaging/appearance


I bought this product primarily for packing into high mountain lakes for fishing.


I fastpack and trail run mostly on trails in the alpine lakes area in washington state and the klymit is a perfect addition to ...  Read More


It’s small enough to pack and fly with!


I can now "pack it in" and paddle on those mtn lakes!

Competitiveness


In comparison, i would never put this thing in that river, or any river that i didn't feel comfortable swimming down with my li...  Read More


The tracking isn't the greatest, but it's no different than an alpacka packraft which is ten times the price of this one.


The price is great compared to the other options.


Still, it is so much more fun and convenient than a cheap walmart style floatie that i can't help but love it.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It takes a lot of effort in paddling each side to go any appreciable distance


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You get a little wet with paddling and entry but if youre careful you can stay largely very dry


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Takes about 510min to inflate and not that challenging


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Inflating the last part is tough bc boat kinks so you or some kind stranger has to lay on it while inflating to fully inflate boat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
