Hi,

my name is Daniel, I’m from switzerland and startet packrafting about 2 years ago. Our firt big trip was in greenland for 18 days without any resupply. We used to take an canoe (was fun as well) but always needed a car to get to the starting point and find a way back. And no hiking in between, except maybe a few kilometers.

Now I want to…[Read more]

Someone must have read your post :-). This feature is now available in the Nortik Duo Expedition packraft. The raft has two internal bags which are sealed with watertproof zippers. I guess that the internal pressure on the bags keeps air and water out. Found no reviews on the performance, but here’s a pic:…[Read more]

Hi Christian,

I use it only to assist with manual inflation, so high precision was not my goal. (The dirt on the blue…[Read more]

Has anyone tried a Leafield C7 valve?  Looking at other oackraft brands it seems a few used this valve and it looks sleeker or lower profile.  With zipper installation if the leafield needed repair its easily accessible too?   Any reason you dont use these instead of Boston valve Matt  ?

Cheers Lisa

I saw your valve order – I will see what I can do 🙂

Unfortunately I don’t offer an ultralight version of the 2-Person packraft because I don’t think it would be strong enough… the standard weight 2-Person kit is already quite light compared to any other comparable boat. Cheers!

Edit…. Looks like bulk sales are suspended right now so I won’t be able to make that brace after all. Feel free to throw in some extra scraps in that sample pack if you want 😂
