Which Packraft?

[morphy_richards]

Hello, I’m hoping to get a packraft and use it on some expeditions this summer. I’m quite a tall person, 6″ 2′ and I’m hoping to use it on bike packing adventures.

I will most likely use the Packraft on rivers, it’s unlikely to be whitewater with my (quite big) big stowed on board.

Because of my size I keep looking at the XL Skeena but for the ability to carry a big bike I’m looking at the Atlin.

Atlin seems like a more sensible option for my purposes but I’m worried I will be too big for it.

How are the none XL rafts for people who are above average in length?

I’m 6’2” and have an Atlin and the lightweight.  I fit easily in both.  I have the largest atlin and with a bike mounted up front I have plenty of room for my legs with room to spare, and enough clearance from the bike that I can paddles hard without feeling jammed up.

When the bike isn’t up front, I can have a full backpack up there and it makes a good foot rest.
