• Hi Hiroshi, thanks for your order! It should take approximately ten business days to arrive. You will be the first in Japan 🙂

    My Clover Mini Iron II is made for North America’s 120 V, 60 Hz power supply. Clover has a Japanese website, where you may be able to find more information, or at least contact information for someone who can answer your…[Read more]

    I think that my question was not clearly understood by topic and reply, so I will ask again.
    1. Japan’s voltage is 100 V, can I use “clover mini iron Ⅱ – the adaptor”?
    2. How long will it take delivery to Japan?

  • I’ve just uploaded some pictures of the new spray deck to the blog – check the rest out here. 🙂

    DIY Packraft Spray Deck

  • Agree.. 340, 3435, 343. I also got the MRS X2 in green. very nice. Definetely going for something dark green and stealthy. Was actually thinking about which colour to build the next one in.. Having to finish the black one though. Might go for camoflage. but the green would probably be my first choice if offered.

  • Here are a few pictures of the new spray deck! It’s made from 210D heat sealable fabric and a lightweight, collapsible aluminum tent pole.

    The total weight of the packraft, including the inflatable floor and […]

    • Hi Matt! Great – now I’m looking forward to your experiences in WW – just to know if it resists some WW or if it starts leaking after 2-4 runs….

    • hey Matt nice work, did U made this on the base of the youtube raft? Helps that you have installed a zipper? I think about to intall one on my first black raft. Was it easier with the reachable innertubesection, or its not nesesary? I would prefer a removable cruiserspraydeck, not interest to go whitewater with selfmade. Looking forward of video instruction for the spraydeck installation. Lighter fabric reached me, next project can start. 🙂

      greetings from berlin

      • Hi Marco,

        Yes, I added the spray deck and inflatable floor to the packraft I made in the Youtube videos after it was finished. The airtight zipper is not necessary for retrofitting either the inflatable floor or the spray deck – I installed both entirely from the outside – but it is still a very nice feature for storing gear inside the tubes and for accessing the inside of the tubes to make repairs.

        I will add a removable cruiser spray deck to my list of things to do!

        I’m glad your new fabric arrived, and I look forward to seeing your ultralight packraft 🙂

        Cheers,

        Matt

    • Hey, Matt,
      Should I purchase the kit and try to make the boat by myself…?
      Or I want to visit Canada and learn some skills or know-how from you…
      Which is better…?

      • Hi Maradona! I demonstrate all of my skills and know-how in my videos and web pages, but Canada has some beautiful places for packrafting (follow @benbrochu on instagram for pictures!), so I think a trip to Canada would be better spent in the wilderness than in my basement 😉

    • Yes, a removable cruiser spray deck would be awesome!

    • second on plans

  • Hello,

    I vote the 350 or 363. Hope that my laptop display will not fool me 🙂

    Generally all three columns from right looks best for me. Left side is not very natural on my screen.

    Btw with my blue packraft I found an interesting thing. In digital photos it looks much brighter compared to real world eye view.

  • I like the 343!

  • hiroshi replied to the topic some questions in the forum DIY Packrafts 9 years, 5 months ago

    Blue Colour. (floor and seams is black)
    Large size.
    single layer floor.
    I ordered.How long will it reach Japan?
    This will mark Japan for the first time in the map.
    By the way, I plan to purchase “clover mini iron Ⅱ – the adapter” from amazon.com,
    Japan is V100 but can it be used?

    Wouldn’t it avoid confusion if we simply deleted this thread?

  • Hi @hiroshi, the floor and seams can be either black or the same colour as the tubes – it is your choice. The product page tells you how to indicate which style you prefer.

    I recommend a Large packraft for your stature.

    The kit does not include a printed manual, as all of the instructions are on the How-To web pages, including pictures and…[Read more]

  • hiroshi replied to the topic some questions in the forum DIY Packrafts 9 years, 5 months ago

    It is a question about color.
    For example, if you choose blue, is the floor and tape blue?
    Or is the floor or tape black?

  • hiroshi replied to the topic some questions in the forum DIY Packrafts 9 years, 5 months ago

    Thank you for an immediate answer.
    By the way, I am 180cm tall, 100 kg in weight, does the size have good S, M, which of L?

    Then will DIY PACKRAFT KIT have the manual?

    @lynsg Hi Lyn, I moved my reply from this topic to be its own topic so the colour chart will stay at the top of the page. Thanks for starting the conversation 🙂

  • Hi @Hiroshi,

    Thanks for your interest in a DIY Packraft. The side tube diameter is 27.5 cm (11″) and the safe load capacity is over 150 kg (300 lbs) – the actual volume is over 300 litres (i.e. over 300 kg buoyancy).

    Whitewater packrafting is possible with the single layer floor, but I recommend the double layer floor for added durability if…[Read more]
