How to inflate the packraft.
Connect the tube to the valve of the packraft as well as to the valve of the inflation bag. Open the bag fully to trap a maximum amount of air. Close the top of the bag and roll it to allow the air to pass into the raft. You can press it with your knees to help.
The packraft is sufficiently inflated when you can no longer inflate it with the bag. Use the same technique to inflate your seat.
Safety on the water
Remember to use an ISO 12402-5 life vest and an EN 1484 helmet when you head out onto rivers.
What does the Kayak bag contain?
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.
How was the design worked?
A packraft in the colours found in river scenery to allow you to have an immersive experience. For safety reasons, the orange allows you to remain visible at all times and to be tracked on the water. The Itiwit teams have created different prototypes in order to test the different shapes and provide you with maximum manoeuvrability and good stability. In the interest of compactness, the packraft only has the essentials so that it can keep up with you on all your adventures.
What component on the packraft 100?
Sail safely, confidential, reinforced floor: 420D TPU double-laminated polyamide
What is the difference between Rafting and Packrafting?
Rafting and packrafting are practised on rivers with varying degrees of rapids. In rafting, you are in a team on the same craft, and you steer the raft with a simple paddle (canoe style) and head downriver. In packrafting, you head upstream and then paddle downriver in your packraft (we recommend that you stay together as a group, and use a double paddle (kayak-style).
The packraft stands alone and weighs only 2 kg, while the raft, weighing around 80 kg and can be carried between the group.
Dimensions How heavy is it?
When the kayak is inflated:
> length: 205 cm
> width: 95 cm
> height: 40 cm
> air volume: 215 litres
When stored in its bag:
> height: 25 cm
> width: 40 cm
> thickness: 25 cm
> full weight: approximately 2 kg (all inclusive: pack raft, pump bag, inflation pipe, seat, repair kit)
Why go packrafting?
Packrafts are an adventure in waiting for those passionate about outdoor sports. This experience combines at least two sports and allows you to vary your fun and enjoy the scenery differently when rafting upstream and downstream.
Go walking or cycling, for one or more days, to reconnect with nature and make the most of it!
Which packraft should you choose?
To choose between the PR500 and PR100 you need to answer these questions:
- Do you need a waterproof compartment?
If so, opt for the PR500
- Will you be sailing on flat water (lakes, calm rivers) or white water?
=> flat water: the PR100 is all you need.
=> whitewater (class II max recommended): PR500
=> both: The PR500 is more suitable.
- How much weight will you be carrying?
> up to 110 kg: PR100
> up to 125 kg: PR500
